Revised and updated, this third edition of Barbara Johnstone’s
_Discourse Analysis_ encourages students to think about discourse
analysis as an open-ended set of techniques. Exploring a variety of
approaches, including critical discourse analysis, conversation
analysis, interactional and variationist sociolinguistics,
ethnography, corpus linguistics, social semiotics, and other
qualitative and quantitative methods, the book balances its
comprehensive coverage with extensive practical examples, making it
the ideal introductory text for students new to the subject.
This new edition reflects the increased importance within the field of
new media discourse, multi-modal discourse and the analysis of large
corpora of discourse data. Updated material expands the discussion of
stancetaking, whilst new material addresses recontextualization,
precontextualization, and language and the body. Pedagogical features
have been refreshed, including discussion questions, exercises, and
ideas for small research projects, with suggested supplementary
readings at the end of each chapter to encourage further discovery.
* Chapters in this book are self-contained, so they can be handled
in any order
* Suggested supplementary readings are featured at the end of every
chapter
* Book is written specifically for a non-specialist,
interdisciplinary audience
* Examples of computer-aided corpus analysis (reflecting the
improvements made to theories and tools) supplement every chapter
* Discussion questions and ideas for small research projects are
interspersed throughout
The combination of breadth of coverage, practical examples, and
student-friendly pedagogical features ensures _Discourse Analysis
_remains the ideal textbook for students taking their first course in
linguistic approaches to discourse.
