Ronald Carter, University of Nottingham, and Sandra

and thorough examples...Academically rigorous and
thought-provoking."
-Margaret Walker, Chief Examiner for English Literature A

"Not only does this book offer a balanced and thorough
account of the formal and functional differences between
speech and writing, it does so in a way that makes it a
lively and accessible introductory textbook for the
beginning student of English language studies."
-Paul Simpson, Queen's University, Belfast
This accessible satellite textbook in the Routledge Intertext
series is unique in offering students a hands-on experience
of textual analysis focused on speech and writing. Written

communication; explores written texts, including legal
documents, literary discourse, recipes, instruction manuals;
explores spoken texts, including telephone conversations,
interviews, television programs, intimate talk; explores
mixed-mode texts, including email, advertisements, election
publicity, written conversations, non-interactive speech;
compares and contrasts spoken and written texts on the same
topics. Intertext series.
