An outstanding introduction to discourse analysis of written
language in an age that is more and more characterized by
multilingual, digital, and generically hybrid texts. In an
accessible style, Working with Written Discourse illustrates how
these texts can be analyzed employing a wide variety of approaches
that are critical, multidisciplinary, and productive. - Professor
Jaffer Sheyholislami, Carleton University "Comprehensive and
up-to-the-minute in its discussion of areas like multimodality and
the new media, without overlooking 'older' media and more
conventional writing. I will recommend it highly to students at all
levels." - Dr Mark Sebba, Lancaster University Addressing the
practicalities of research, and embracing the complexity and
variety of written forms of language, this book: grounds readers in
a broad range of concepts, debates and relevant methods focuses on
both theoretical questions and the 'how to' of analysis is loaded
with practical activities and advice on the design and execution of
research highlights computer-mediated communication and new media
discourse, from text messages and tweets to mobile phone novels and
online encyclopedias draws on data from international and
multilingual communities. The perfect companion to Deborah
Cameron's best-selling Working with Spoken Discourse, this book
equips readers with practical and conceptual tools to ask questions
about written discourse, and to analyse the huge variety of texts
that make up our linguistic landscape. It is the essential guide
for students of discourse analysis in linguistics, media and
communication studies, and for social researchers across the social
sciences.
