References on the Analysis of Discourses of Dissent

[Celso Alvarez Cáccamo]

Teun,

You may want to tell your student that the following two works, though not 
CDA (I think ;-) ), address in passing issues of resistance, namely, 
"linguistic disobedience" to normative language ideologies in Galiza, and 
unvoiced (coughed!) resistance by the audience in a town council meeting. 
They are, respectively:

Alvarez-Cáccamo, Celso. 1993. "The pigeon house, the octopus and the 
people: The ideologization of linguistic practices in Galiza". 
Plurilinguismes 6, 1-26. Monographic Issue on Sociolinguistique galicienne, 
ed. by Xoán Paulo Rodríguez Yañez.

Alvarez-Cáccamo, Celso. 1996. "Building alliances in political discourse: 
Language, institutional authority, and resistance". Folia Linguistica 
XXX.3/4. Special Issue on Interactional Sociolinguistics, ed. by Helga 
Kotthoff, 245-270.

Both are available at:

Saúde,
-celso
