In para. 11, Swales states the central concept of discourse-community theory in just a few lines. What is it?

Swales seems both surprised and disappointed that "there were very few criticisms of or objections to the six criteria" for identifying discourse communities (para. 5). What does his dismay suggest about the purpose of doing scholarly research?

Swales suggests that "many people are occasional members of more than one discourse community" (para. 20). Comparing to Gee, how does Swales's statement square with Gee's assertion that virtually all individuals embody multiple Discourses?

As Swales "reconsiders DC criteria," he wants to shift his first criterion from "A DC has a broadly agreed set of goals" to "a potentially discoverable set of goals" (para. 22, emphasis added). What is the difference, and why would Swales be more comfortable with the latter version?
