Abstract:

Rather than applying a rigid theory or surveying a variety of
approaches, Analyzing Discourse provides a methodology that has been
refined over years of use. As an introduction to discourse analysis
for linguistic field workers, it is practical, addressing issues
commonly confronted by field linguists. The material follows a
functional and cognitive approach that seems to be a good
approximation of how discourse is actually produced and understood.
Since the aim of the manual is introductory rather than comprehensive,
most chapters are relatively short, and the whole can be covered in
fifteen classroom hours. References are provided for further reading
on the topics discussed. The manual can be used individually or in
group sessions, such as in a formal course or a linguistic seminar. In
a group setting, concepts can be illustrated by examining texts beyond
those provided in the manual. This revision corrects the errata of the
classic first edition, which remains a solid presentation of the basic
concepts for analyzing discourse.
