In its first edition, winner of the 2016 Edward Sapir Book Prize
from the Society for Linguistic Anthropology of the American
Anthropological Association Discourse Analysis Beyond the Speech
Event introduces a new approach to discourse analysis. In this
innovative work, Wortham and Reyes argue that discourse analysts
should look beyond fixed speech events and consider the development
of discourses over time. Drawing on theories and methods from
linguistic anthropology and related fields, this book is the first
to present a systematic methodological approach to conducting
discourse analysis of linked events, allowing researchers to
understand not only individual events but also the patterns that
emerge across them. This new edition: Draws on theories and methods
from linguistic anthropology and related fields; Presents the first
systematic methodological approach to doing discourse analysis of
linked events; Provides easy-to-use tools and techniques for
analyzing discourse both within and across events; Offers
transparent procedures and clear illustrations to show how the
approach can be applied to analyze three types of data:
ethnographic, archival, and new media; Includes a new chapter
focusing on the discourse analysis of contemporary nationalist new
media data. Updated and revised for the second edition, this book
is essential reading for advanced students and researchers working
in the area of discourse analysis.

This book-an ethnographic and discourse analytic study of an
after-school video-making project for 1.5- and second-generation
Southeast Asian American teenagers--explores the relationships
among stereotype, identity, and ethnicity that emerge in this
informal educational setting.
Working from a unique theoretical foundation that combines
linguistic anthropology, Asian American studies, and education, and
using rigorous linguistic anthropological tools to closely examine
video- and audio- recorded interactions gathered during the
video-making project (in which teen participants learned the skills
for creating their own video and adult staff learned to respect and
value the local knowledge of youth), the author builds a compelling
link between micro-level uses of language and macro-level
discourses of identity, race, ethnicity, and culture. In this study
of the ways in which teens draw on and play with circulating
stereotypes of the "self" and the "other," Reyes uniquely
illustrates how individuals can reappropriate stereotypes of their
ethnic group as a resource to position themselves and others in
interactionally meaningful ways, to accomplish new social actions,
and to assign new meanings to stereotypes.
This is an important book for academics and students in
sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, discourse analysis, and
applied linguistics with an interest in issues of youth, race, and
ethnicity, and/or educational settings, and will also be of
interest to readers in the fields of education, Asian American
studies, social psychology, and sociology.

Beyond Yellow English is the first edited volume to examine issues
of language, identity, and culture among the rapidly growing Asian
Pacific American (APA) population. The distinguished
contributors-who represent a broad range of perspectives from
anthropology, sociolinguistics, English, and education-focus on the
analysis of spoken interaction and explore multiple facets of the
APA experience. Authors cover topics such as media representations
of APAs; codeswitching and language crossing; and narratives of
ethnic identity. The collection examines the experiences of Asian
Pacific Americans of different ethnicities, generations, ages, and
geographic locations across home, school, community, and
performance sites.
