Discourse Interpretation: Approaches and Applications provides new
insights into the complex area of discourse interpretation in a
wide range of discourse types and genres. The authors adopt a
variety of approaches to the representation and interpretation of
meaning in discourse to share the understanding that discourse
interpretation is a dynamic construct constantly open to
reinterpretation in the light of the intentions and purposes of in
particular social, historical and situational contexts. The
chapters of the book comprise essays by linguists working in the
fields of (critical) discourse analysis, pragmatics, stylistics and
sociolinguistics which address methodological issues in discourse
interpretation (Part I) and explore various aspects of
representation and interpretation of meaning in different genres of
spoken and written discourse, namely conversational, academic,
media, political and fictional discourse (Part II). This volume,
which combines theoretical insights with empirical investigations,
contributes to a better understanding of the interpretative process
and will be of interest to a wide range of researchers, scholars
and students of English.
