Abstract:

The Power of Language: How Discourse Influences Society is designed to 
introduce students at the tertiary level to both Systemic Functional 
Linguistics and Critical Discourse Analysis. It is aimed at developing critical 
analytical skills by rooting analysis in SFL methodology so that students can 
tackle a wide range of discourse types. By connecting SFL and CDA and by 
explicitly introducing a solid theoretical foundation in SFL, the critical 
analyses in the book are not only well grounded but transparent. Each 
chapter in the volume builds a methodological foundation for the 
development of critical discourse analytical skills. SFL provides novice 
analysts with a rich set of resources for CDA and equips them to better 
reflect on what language is doing and why.

The Power of Language: How Discourse Influences Society, offers 
explanations along with a wide range of sample analyses to illustrate theory 
and provide applications of the methodologies introduced in each chapter. 
Students not only learn by studying a number of analyses but carry out their 
own analytical work on other samples, thus gaining experience in critical 
analysis. Each chapter also includes examples of analyses by well known 
researchers so that novice analysts become familiar with various 
approaches to analysis.
