Abstract:

"...a scholarly and ambitious work, which attempts to integrate insights from
many theoretical positions on discourse - all the gurus are there...The reader
activities should be of considerable interest to all teachers and students in
the field of discourse studies. The texts are immensely diverse, ranging from
plot summaries to NYPD Blue, to excerpts from books by Stephen Hawking and 
Peter Hoeg, to comments by Sviatoslav Richter" 
Jenny Miller (University of Queensland), Discourse and Society

"...characterised by in-depth discussions of theoretical issues, accompanied by
profound practical analyses of authentic data ... a guide to the analysis of
narrative and non-narrative authentic texts that combines a structure-oriented
and a function-oriented viewpoint." 
Wolfram Bublitz (University of Augsburg), Zeitschrift für Anglistik und
Amerikanistik

A clear and lively introduction to current trends in the theory, method and
tools of discourse studies, this book is a valuable guide for students and
teachers of linguistics as well as for those with an interest in the linguistic
methods of analysing discourse (media, rhetoric and stylistics, pragmatics,
communication studies scholars etc).

* Comprehensive, accessible, state-of-the-art textbook 

* Close analyses of a wide range of narrative and non-narrative texts, both
spoken and written

* Emphasis on practical text analysis: includes guided activities for self-study
or use in a classroom

* Suggestions for further reading in each chapter.

This revised second edition registers key changes in a rapidly expanding area
and thoroughly updates suggestions for further reading and the bibliography.
