Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Saussurean research
Explanation
Wetherell, Taylor and Yates (Discourse Theory and Practice / Discourse as Data, 2001) list traditions such as conversation analysis, sociolinguistics, discursive psychology, critical discourse analysis, Bakhtinian and Foucauldian research. Saussure's structural linguistics studies langue as a system, not discourse in use, so it is not one of them.
