Abstract

The article deals with discursion-analytical research and its applicability in connection with the example of the human concept in adult education and verbal expression. The author sees the discursive approach as being a new way to read different texts and thereby helping us to realise the hidden meanings in the texts. When analysing the terminology and concepts of adult education, the author presents us with a critical question: ln the end, what does the enormous emphasis given to adult education really mean?
