Discourse Analysis provides an essential and practical introduction
for students studying modules on the analysis of language in use.
It explores the ways in which language is used and organised in
written and spoken texts to generate meanings and takes into
account the social contexts of production, and the social roles and
identities of those involved. Investigating the ways in which
language varies according to subject, social setting, and
communicative purpose, this book examines various forms of speaking
and writing, including casual conversation, speeches, parliamentary
debate, CMC, and mass media articles. It discusses topics including
how we convey more than we actually say or write, the role of
politeness and impoliteness in communication, and what makes texts
cohesive and coherent and shows how particular aspects of discourse
analysis can be assisted by corpus methods and tools. Taking
students through a step-by-step guide on how to do discourse
analysis that includes the collection of data and presentation of
results, it also documents a text analysis project from start to
finish. Featuring a range of examples and interactive activities,
as well as additional online support material, this book is key
reading for those studying discourse analysis modules.
