Most of our knowledge is acquired by discourse, and our ability to
produce and understand discourse is impossible without the
activation of massive amounts of knowledge of the world. Both
'discourse' and 'knowledge' are fundamental concepts of the
humanities and social sciences, but they are often treated
separately. Based on a theory of natural knowledge, the book deals
with the cognitive processes, social distribution, cultural
differences and the linguistic and discursive 'management' of
knowledge in interaction and communication in epistemic
communities. The first book to adopt a multidisciplinary approach
to studying the relationship between the two concepts, Discourse
and Knowledge introduces the new field of epistemic discourse
analysis. Using a wide range of examples to illustrate the theory,
it is essential reading for both students and academics interested
in epistemology, linguistics, discourse analysis, cognitive and
social psychology and the social sciences.
