Sammanfattning	Participatory Conversation Analysis (PCA) extends classical Conversation Analysis by actively involving the people whose talk is being studied in the analytical process. Rather than treating analysis as the researcher's exclusive domain, PCA invites practitioners, community members, or research participants to co-review recordings or transcripts of their own interaction, contribute insider meanings, and collaboratively refine the interpretation of interactional patterns. The approach is widely used in education, healthcare communication, and professional learning contexts.	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.
