For anyone approaching Discourse Analysis for the first time,
theory means little when it is not related to actual knowledge and
experience of language in use. Describing Discourse takes the
unique approach of introducing discourse studies through the
hands-on analysis of linguistic data. The book introduces students
to specific discourses constructed for particular purposes, for
example, from the domains of advertising, law, medicine and
education. Each chapter provides examples, exercises and commentary
designed to develop the analytical abilities needed in describing
the characteristic forms and typical functions of different
discourses. Describing Discourse provides the ideal entry into the
study of discourse for students new to the subject.

relevant theoretical approaches (including conversation analysis,
enthnology, relevance theory and audience-design) are introduced in
relation to the data just analysed.
In this way, Describing Discourse provides the ideal entry into the
study of discourse for students new to the subject.
