Abstract:

This edited volume showcases new work on discourse analysis by big names in
the field and promising early-career researchers. Arising from the latest in
the series of IWoDA workshops in Santiago de Compostela, it provides novel
insights into both the explicit and the implicit characteristics of discourse
as used in verbal interaction. Discourse markers, as their name indicates, are
among the explicit signals of coherence, while discourse relations may be
either explicit or implicit. Similarly, the discourse used for purposes of
evaluation, stance-taking and interpersonal engagement is either overt or
covert, as is also true of the expression of emotions and empathy. This, in
general terms, is the challenging terrain into which the contributors to this
volume have ventured. The book combines theoretical issues with a practical
orientation, comparing languages, analysing different registers, studying the
openings of Skype conversations, and much more besides; it will prove highly
relevant for postgraduate and advanced practitioners of discourse analysis,
interaction studies, semantics and pragmatics.
