2nd Announcement: Discourse Studies summer school

[Ehya Amalsaleh]

Dear Paul McIlvenny,



I would likt to participate in the discourse classes. My Ph.D. Thesis was in the field of Critical discourse analysis. In fact my main interests rest on sociolinguistics and discourse. I wonder if it is possible to regfister on site. The point is that in Iran it is not easy to have a credit card and it is easy to send money abroad. I would be grateful if you could inform me in this regrd.



Sincerely yours,

Ehya Amalsaleh ( MS)
