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 the 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 offer 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. Contributors:
