This book was published in response to the need to provide a
comprehensive book dealing with the multidimensional complexity of
language and literacy education. This book is carefully designed to
capture three major interrelated aspects of language and literacy
education in a changing and challenging world: to introduces some
fundamental theoretical concepts and issues about the nature and
functions of language, particularly with insights gained from
linguistics and applied linguistics; to focus on language and
literacy education in context; and to deal with social and cultural
aspects of language and literacy in an intercultural context. This
book provides a comprehensive and integrated range of theoretical
and practical insights beyond the limited traditional focus on
language and literacy pedagogy.
The title of this book 'Critical Discourse Analysis: An
Interdisciplinary Perspective' is purposely chosen to emphasise the
interdisciplinary nature of critical discourse analysis (CDA). This
book has the following key features: The chapter authors bring to
the book their diversified backgrounds. They are linguists,
educators, computer scientists, health professionals, and social
consultants. Although they all share a common interest in CDA,
their academic and cultural experiences are different and this
intercultural and interdisciplinary feature provides interesting
insights into the understanding of CDA and its wider application.
Thus, it appeals to a wide range of readers such as students,
educators, researchers, health professionals and others. The book
is divided into three parts to reflect the main interdisciplinary
aspects of CDA: Part One is about some introductory aspects of CDA.
It gives readers some basic ideas about CDA as an emerging field.
Part Two is on CDA across different subjects and disciplines such
as language education, information technology, and heath sciences.
Part Three deals with CDA across cultures. It includes the use of
CDA in examining social and linguistic issues in different nations
and cultures such as Spain, Nigeria, Indonesia, New Zealand. For
those who do not have backgrounds in linguistics, two introductory
chapters on aspects of linguistics and functional grammar, which
are relevant to CDA, are included in this book. They are essential
for understanding CDA.
