   • discourse analysis

   答案：psycholinguistics,communication skills,discourse analysis

   原文定位：I couldn't make up my mind between language and society and communication skills. ... Anyway, I went for communication skills in the end because I know the lecturer;I thought discourse analysis looked really interesting and in fact they cover a little bit of research methodology in it. So I thought I'd do that rather than the full methodology course;And then I fancied something completely different. So I thought psycho linguistics would be interesting unless you think it'll be more worthwhile for me to do the phonology course;No, I think you've made sensible choices

   同义替换：「psycholinguistics」↔「I thought psycholinguistics would be interesting」，「communication skills」↔「I went for communication skills in the end」，「discourse analysis」↔「this course analysis」
