About this title

Synopsis

This introduction to discourse analysis provides students with an accessible, yet comprehensive, overview of the subject and all the skills and knowledge needed to become capable discourse analysts. Through practical coverage and advice, this book introduces discourse analysis as a set of analytical tools and perspectives that can be applied to an assignment, project, or thesis. Across seven chapters the book is divided according to practical themes and topics allowing students to establish a deeper understanding of discourse analysis. Students will be taught how to identify and categorise established theories and methodologies, including conversation analysis, critical discourse analysis and more. Through figures, examples, chapter summaries, and over thirty learning activities, this volume teaches students the foundational skills to approach the analytical process with more confidence and background knowledge, suitable for undergraduate and graduate students studying discourse analysis.
