Critics Review

This is an excellent guide to doing discourse analysis. The chapters provide detailed accounts of different ways of approaching discourse analysis together with examples which illustrate each of the approaches. An extremely accessible and useful book. I highly recommend it.

Chris Hart’s new edited book is as relevant for the multidisciplinary field of Discourse Studies as his previous books. The prominent authors introduce some of the cutting edge domains and topics of contemporary scholarship. This is an excellent introduction for students and teachers should recommend it for courses on discourse studies.
