ANALYSING THE LANGUAGE OF DISCOURSE COMMUNITIES
By Joan Cutting, University of Sunderland, UK
2000, Hardbound, ISBN: 0-08-043893-8, 190 pages, NLG 170 (euro 77.14), US$
89
This book describes how the language used in social interaction evolves
from the time the speakers first meet and becomes the in-group code of a
given discourse community (in this case the academic community).
Most studies reported in the literature of the language of groups and
intimates until now have been global, imprecise or unsystematic, and have
described the language as a product at a given time; no systematic study
appears to have been carried out to follow through the interactions of
individuals as they form a group, to discover precisely how and why
language changes over time as assumed knowledge grows. Here, Joan Cutting
focuses on the precise changes that occur with increasing knowledge over
time, and uses a longitudinal approach to describe the language as a
process.
For academic researchers and advanced students in linguistics specialising
in applied linguistics and/or pragmatics, and for all 'behavioural
science' researchers and students interested in discourse analysis.
