The second edition of this highly regarded textbook is designed to
introduce students at the tertiary level to both Systemic
Functional Linguistics and Critical Discourse Analysis. It develops
critical analytical skills by rooting analysis in SFL methodology
so that students can learn to analyze a range of discourse types.
Each chapter builds a methodological foundation for the development
of critical discourse analytical skills. SFL provides novice
analysts with a rich set of resources for CDA and equips them to
better reflect on what language is doing and why. The Power of
Language offers explanations along with a range of sample analyses
to illustrate theory and provide applications of the methodologies
introduced in each chapter. Students not only learn by studying a
number of analyses but carry out their own analytical work on other
samples, thus gaining experience. Each chapter also includes
examples of analyses by well know researchers so that novice
analysts become familiar with various approaches to analysis.This
new edition has been thoroughly updated throughout and features an
expanded first chapter on language and international conflict, a
new second chapter focusing on language and political fear, an
expanded chapter on multimodal communication and an entirely new
chapter on language and social media. Other chapters have been
updated with new sample analyses and activities.
