This introductory textbook presents a variety of approaches and
perspectives that can be employed to analyze any sample of
discourse. The perspectives come from multiple disciplines,
including linguistics, sociolinguistics, and linguistic
anthropology, all of which shed light on meaning and the
interactional construction of meaning through language use.
Students without prior experience in discourse analysis will
appreciate and understand the micro-macro relationship of language
use in everyday contexts, in professional and academic settings, in
languages other than English, and in a wide variety of media
outlets. Each chapter is supported by examples of spoken and
written discourse from various types of data sources, including
conversations, commercials, university lectures, textbooks, print
ads, and blogs, and concludes with hands-on opportunities for
readers to actually do discourse analysis on their own. Students
can also utilize the book's comprehensive companion website, with
flash cards for key terms, quizzes, and additional data samples,
for in-class activities and self-study. With its accessible
multi-disciplinary approach and comprehensive data samples from a
variety of sources, Discourse Analysis is the ideal core text for
the discourse analysis course in applied linguistics, English,
education, and communication programs.
