This is both the first systematic introduction to Discourse Studies
for students and scholars of social movements and a study of
discourses on the European "refugee crisis", by leading theorist,
Teun A. van Dijk. Concrete examples of different kinds of discourse
are vital for the study of social movements because their
activities are not limited to such well-known forms of contention
as marches, occupations or strikes, but also daily discursive
activities, such as meetings, assemblies, interviews, press
conferences, manifestos, pamphlets, banners, graffiti, websites,
blogs, social media posts and everyday talk. This book proposes
that empirical analyses of these discourses should go beyond the
popular but vague notion of "frame" and engage in more detailed and
explicit analyses of the text and talk of social movements. This is
a much-needed introduction to the most important structures of
discourse and a detailed theoretical account of the notion of
"solidarity" defining the Refugees Welcome movement.

First Published in 1987. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
Macrostructures are higher-level semantic or conceptual structures
that organize the 'local' microstructures of discourse,
interaction, and their cognitive processing. They are distinguished
from other global structures of a more schematic nature, which we
call superstructures. Originally published in 1980, the theory of
macrostructures outlined in this book is the result of research
carried out during the previous 10 years in the domains of literary
theory, text grammar, the general theory of discourse, pragmatics,
and the cognitive psychology of discourse processing. The
presentation of the theory is systematic but informal and at this
stage was not intended to be fully formalized.

Originally published in 1991. This book presents the results of an
interdisciplinary study of the press coverage of ethnic affairs.
Examples are drawn mainly from British and Dutch newspapers, but
data from other countries are also reviewed. Besides providing the
reader with a thorough content analysis of the material, the book
is the first to introduce a detailed discourse analytical approach
to the study of the ways in which ethnic minorities are portrayed
in the press. The approach focuses on the topics, overall news
report schemata, local meanings, style and rhetoric of news
reports. Highly original, accomplished and penetrating, the book is
the fruit of a decade of research into the question of racism and
the press, important for ethnic studies, mass communication and
media studies, sociology and linguistics.

* The first comprehensive resource on Spanish language Discourse
Studies covering theories, methods, settings and applications as
they relate to the Spanish language research tradition * Presents a
good balance between theory, research methodologies and
applications. * Each article bears in mind the implications and
possible applications of the approaches discussed to teaching and
learning discourse in Spanish language.
Most of our knowledge is acquired by discourse, and our ability to
produce and understand discourse is impossible without the
activation of massive amounts of knowledge of the world. Both
'discourse' and 'knowledge' are fundamental concepts of the
humanities and social sciences, but they are often treated
separately. Based on a theory of natural knowledge, the book deals
with the cognitive processes, social distribution, cultural
differences and the linguistic and discursive 'management' of
knowledge in interaction and communication in epistemic
communities. The first book to adopt a multidisciplinary approach
to studying the relationship between the two concepts, Discourse
and Knowledge introduces the new field of epistemic discourse
analysis. Using a wide range of examples to illustrate the theory,
it is essential reading for both students and academics interested
in epistemology, linguistics, discourse analysis, cognitive and
social psychology and the social sciences.
After his earlier book Discourse and Context, also published by
Cambridge University Press, Teun A. van Dijk in this 2009 study
presents the second part of his new multidisciplinary theory of
context. The main thesis of this theory is that the influence of
society on discourse is not direct, as is postulated for instance
in sociolinguistics, but cognitively mediated by subjective mental
models of the communicative situation: context models. These
dynamic models control discourse production and comprehension and
define the pragmatic appropriateness of text and talk. Whereas in
Discourse and Context the psychological and linguistic aspects of
context were analyzed, this book focuses on the social
psychological, sociological, anthropological and political aspects
of context. Tony Blair's 2003 speech defending his motion to go to
war against Saddam Hussein and the following debate in parliament
is used as an example illustrating the new theory.
Teun Van Dijk is one of the most influential and significant
scholars Critical Discourse analysis. This collection brings
together his most important writing, with a substantial
introduction, positioning the essays for the undergraduate market
within the context of his own work and within broader developments
in CDA. Teun Van Dijk's work is already widely studied at
undergraduate level, and this new collection will make his work
more accessible and easily available to the undergraduate student.
It will also include suggestions for further study.
This collection of essays from scholars in the United States, the
United Kingdom, and the Netherlands, examines how biases against
minorities in the U.S. and western Europe are perpetuated directly
and indirectly through such media channels as newspapers,
television coverage, everyday language use, and through the
educational curriculum, teacher attitudes, and teacher-student
interaction. Written especially for this volume, the essays
demonstrate how the dominant population controls not only what
happens to subordinate populations, but also how the general public
perceives that reality. Discourse and Discrimination is valuable
reading for students and scholars in linguistics, discourse
analysis, mass communication, sociology, social psychology, and
black and ethnic studies.
Antiracism is a global and historical social movement of resistance
and solidarity, yet there have been relatively few books focusing
on it as a subject in its own right. After his earlier books on
racist discourse, Teun A. van Dijk provides a theory of antiracism
along with a history of discourse against slavery, racism and
antisemitism. He first develops a multidisciplinary theory of
antiracism, highlighting especially the role of discourse and
cognition as forms of resistance and solidarity. He then covers the
history of antiracist discourse, including antislavery and
abolition discourse between the 16th and 19th century, antiracist
discourse by white and black authors until the Civil Rights
Movement and Black Lives Matter, and Jewish critical analysis of
antisemitic ideas and discourse since the early 19th century. It is
essential reading for anyone interested in how racism and
antisemitism have been critically analysed and resisted in
antislavery and antiracist discourse.
How do social situations influence language use, discourse and
conversation? This book is a monograph which presents a
multidisciplinary theory of context and the way context influences
language use and discourse. Unlike in earlier approaches, contexts
are not defined as objective social 'variables', such as gender or
age. Rather, they are constructs of the participants themselves,
that is, 'subjective definitions of the communicative situation'
that are made explicit in the sociocognitive notion of context
models. These models dynamically control all language use, make
sure that discourses are appropriate in the communicative situation
and hence are the basis of pragmatics. In this book, context models
are studied especially from a (socio) linguistic and cognitive
perspective. In another book published by Cambridge University
Press, Society and Discourse, Teun A. van Dijk develops the social
psychological, sociological and anthropological dimensions of the
theory of context.
