Analyzing Public Discourse demonstrates the use of discourse
analysis to provide testimony in public policy consultations: from
environmental impact statements to changes in laws and policies.
Scollon asserts that it is in the best interest of democratic
public discourse for all participants in the process to be working
with a common discursive framework. He puts forward a strategy by
which discourse analysts can become engaged in this framework as
participants through the process of public consultations. Using
documents which are publicly available online from specific
consultative projects, Scollon provides the reader with concrete
examples and introduces basic skills for discourse analysis.
Accessible to readers who are new to discourse analysis,
Analyzing Public Discourse will be of interest to students of
linguistics and language studies as well as to those on
environmental studies courses. This book can also be used as a
guide for any public consultation which calls for public
responses.
