Discourse Theory and Practice

`A highly effective introduction to the range of approaches found in discourse analysis… a lively and intellectually stimulating Reader′ - David Silverman, Goldsmith College, University of London
It is a very comprehensive book. The selection of articles is well done. -- Dr Carlos Moreno-Leguizamon * drupal *
This book is incredibly comprehensive, with very clear and helpful explanations of different discourse analytic approaches. -- Dr Julia V Bailey * drupal *
This is a wide ranging review of issues related to discourse theory. I may point PG students who are exploring more interpretive methods of research to this book, but it is quite specialised, and presumes some prior knowledge about discourse theory. -- Mr Grenville Lannon * drupal *
A must have text for all students (undergraduate and postgraduate) wishing to pursue discourse analysis research. -- Mr Michael Harrison * drupal *
Very useful and comprehensive guide to discourse analysis. I will be recommending it on the course -- Ms Sarah Metcalfe * drupal *
This book contains the texts that are used as examples in the "parent" book "Discourse as Data". However, the collection stands in its own right as a fascinating insight into the range of discursive representations that often pass us by as sources of meta-information on a text and its speaker. I also value the information on notation and how to markup, and indeed identify, linguistic and paralinguistic cues. -- Professor Michael Biggs * drupal *
All-encompassing, accessible while retaining depth, this is a useful resource for anyone interested in the history and application of discourse analysis -- Professor Pedro Neto * drupal *
An excellent text for those looking to understand more of the theory and history behind contemporary approaches to qualitative analysis. Highly recommended to my Doctoral students, particularly alongside the companion volume "Discourse as Data: A guide for analysis"." -- Wendy Solomons * drupal *
