Zusammenfassung	Digital Conversation Analysis (DCA) applies the systematic, turn-by-turn analytical procedures of Conversation Analysis (CA) to digital and computer-mediated interactions — including chat logs, social media threads, instant messages, and online forums. Rooted in the foundational CA framework of Sacks, Schegloff, and Jefferson, DCA adapts classical concepts such as turn-taking, adjacency pairs, and sequential organisation to account for the asynchronous, multimodal, and textual character of online communication.	Discourse analysis is a qualitative research methodology that examines how language, communication, and power shape meaning, identity, and social reality. Developed across linguistics, sociology, and psychology (particularly by Norman Fairclough and Jonathan Potter), discourse analysis goes beyond content to analyze language use as a social practice that constitutes and reflects power relations, ideologies, and social structures.
