Methods of approaching the study of discourse have developed
rapidly in the last ten years, influenced by a growing
interdisciplinary spirit among linguistics and anthropology,
sociology, cognitive and cultural psychology and cultural studies,
as well as among established sub-fields within linguistics itself.
Among the more recent developments are an increasing 'critical'
turn in discourse analysis, a growing interest in historical,
ethnographic and corpus-based approaches to discourse, more concern
with the social contexts in which discourse occurs, the social
actions that it is used to take and the identities that are
constructed through it, as well as a revaluation of what counts as
'discourse' to include multi-modal texts and interaction.
Advances in Discourse Studies brings together contributions from
leading scholars in the field, investigating the historical and
theoretical relationships between new advances in discourse studies
and pointing towards new directions for the future of the
discipline. Featuring discussion questions, classroom projects and
recommended readings at the end of each section, as well as case
studies illustrating each approach discussed, this is an invaluable
resource for students of interdisciplinary discourse analysis.
