Grammar, Meaning, and Concepts: A Discourse-Based Approach to
English Grammar is a book for language teachers and learners that
focuses on the meanings of grammatical constructions within
discourse, rather than on language as structure governed by rigid
rules. This text emphasizes the ways in which users of language
construct meaning, express viewpoints, and depict imageries using
the conceptual, meaning-filled categories that underlie all of
grammar. Written by a team of authors with years of experience
teaching grammar to future teachers of English, this book puts
grammar in the context of real language and illustrates grammar in
use through an abundance of authentic data examples. Each chapter
also provides a variety of activities that focus on grammar, genre,
discourse, and meaning, which can be used as they are or can be
adapted for classroom practice. The activities are also designed to
raise awareness about discourse, grammar, and meaning in all facets
of everyday life, and can be used as springboards for upper high
school, undergraduate, and graduate level research projects and
inquiry-based grammatical analysis. Grammar, Meaning, and Concepts
is an ideal textbook for those in the areas of teacher education,
discourse analysis, applied linguistics, second language teaching,
ESL, EFL, and communications who are looking to teach and learn
grammar from a dynamic perspective.
This introductory textbook presents a variety of approaches and
perspectives that can be employed to analyze any sample of
discourse. The perspectives come from multiple disciplines,
including linguistics, sociolinguistics, and linguistic
anthropology, all of which shed light on meaning and the
interactional construction of meaning through language use.
Students without prior experience in discourse analysis will
appreciate and understand the micro-macro relationship of language
use in everyday contexts, in professional and academic settings, in
languages other than English, and in a wide variety of media
outlets. Each chapter is supported by examples of spoken and
written discourse from various types of data sources, including
conversations, commercials, university lectures, textbooks, print
ads, and blogs, and concludes with hands-on opportunities for
readers to actually do discourse analysis on their own. Students
can also utilize the book's comprehensive companion website, with
flash cards for key terms, quizzes, and additional data samples,
for in-class activities and self-study. With its accessible
multi-disciplinary approach and comprehensive data samples from a
variety of sources, Discourse Analysis is the ideal core text for
the discourse analysis course in applied linguistics, English,
education, and communication programs.
