What is Discourse Analysis? is an accessible introduction to an
empirical research approach which is widely used in the social
sciences and related disciplines. This book explores the idea of
how meaning is socially constructed and how 'talk' and text can be
interpreted. The challenges of discourse analysis are outlined as
well as helpful ways to approach them - from finding the right
starting point, processing and interpreting data through to
building an argument. Discourse analysts work with language data,
including talk, documents and broadcast material. Researchers in
different traditions study interactions and social practices,
meaning-making and larger meaning systems, and contests and
conflicts around collective identities, social norms and
subjectification. What is Discourse Analysis? addresses new
researchers and other academics interested in language and its
associated practices. The book outlines the history of discourse
analysis, its key concepts and theorists and its uses and
challenges. Discussions of published studies illustrate the use of
the approach to investigate a range of research topics, such as
gender, health and national identities. The book also addresses the
practical aspects of discourse analysis, providing clear guidance
on data collection and data processing, including transcription and
selection. Covering important topics, What is Discourse Analysis?
draws from recent articles to show how discourse analysis works in
action. Common questions about discourse analysis are presented in
a lively and accessible Q&A format. This book will be an
essential resource for all researchers working with discourse
analysis.
