This collection brings together for the first time in a single
volume many of the major figures in contemporary discourse studies.
Each chapter is an original contribution which has been
specifically commissioned for this book, and together they document
the wide range of concerns and techniques which characterise the
discipline at the turn of the century. Discourse and Social Life is
concerned with a variety of different types of data - talk, text
and interaction - and covers research sites which range from the
home setting through the health care setting and the courtroom to
the public sphere. The book not only provides a critical,
historical overview of different traditions of discourse analysis,
but also projects to some extent the possible developments of this
field of study, as other allied disciplines (Philosophy,
Psychology, Sociology, Rhetoric and Communication Studies) are
taking a discursive turn. Readers are invited to draw parallels
between these different approaches to studying discourse in its
social context. The contributors are- Sally Candlin, Malcolm
Coulthard, Justine Coupland, Nikolas Coupland, Norman Fairclough,
Ruqaiya Hasan, Robert Kaplan, Geoff Leech, Yon Maley, Greg Myers,
Celia Roberts, Srikant Sarangi, Ron Scollon, Theo van Leeuwen,
Henry Widdowson and Ruth Wodak.
