approaches to text analysis

[Sanders, Ted]

Hi Ceci
In addition: 
Jan Renkema has edited a 2009 volume with Benjamins "Disocurse, of course" which has several interesting contributions for your purpose (by Maite Taboada, Max Louwerse, Ted Sanders & Wilbert Spooren, for instance). I guess this could function as the introdoctory chapters you mention, but it could easily be extended with original research papers, to which the chapters point.

Best wishes,
Ted

Thank you. I have the Hatch book and can use it right off the shelf. >>From what I can recall, it is better than Salkie because it goes into verb forms and clause constrution, not just cohesive devices. It covers written and spoken language, but I think it has parts that are primarily about writing. 
great!

I would like to include some coverage of analyzing written text and am interested in suggestions of approaches that would work for a mixed graduate/undergraduate class.  Any suggestions on textbooks, articles, chapters, introductory essays or the like?
