From emails relating to adoption over the Internet to discussions
in the airline cockpit, the spoken or written texts we produce can
have significant social consequences. The area of Mediated
Discourse Analysis considers texts in their social and cultural
contexts to explore the actions individuals take with texts - and
the consequences of those actions.
Discourse in Action:
* brings together leading scholars from around the world in the
area of Mediated Discourse Analysis
* reveals ways in which its theory and methodology can be used in
research into contemporary social situations
* explores real situations and draws on real data in each
chapter
* shows how analysis of texts in their social contexts broadens our
understanding of the real world.
Taken together, the chapters provide a comprehensive overview to
the field and present a range of current studies that address some
of the most important questions facing students and researchers in
linguistics, education, communication studies and other fields.
