How is discourse analysis relate to qualitative research method?

Qualitative research methods are "interpretive approaches" which use words to describe or argue the interpretation of social action. Discourses are written works on specific topics, that is, descriptive/analytical arguements on a subject. Discourses require in depth analysis and interpretation that may be impossible to define quantitatively (numerically). A discourse is an opinion on a subject, opinions cannot be numerically measured.
