Abstract:

Introduction to Discourse Studies follows on Jan Renkema's successful
Discourse Studies: An Introductory Textbook (1993), published in four
languages. This new book deals with even more key concepts in
discourse studies and approaches major issues in this field from the
Anglo-American and European as well as the Australian traditions. It
provides a 'scientific toolkit' for future courses on discourse
studies and serves as a stepping stone to the independent study of
professional literature.

Introduction to Discourse Studies is the result of more than
twenty-five years of experience gained in doing research and teaching
students, professionals and academics at various universities. The
book is organized in fifteen comprehensive chapters, each subdivided
in modular sections that can be studied separately.

It includes 400 references, from the most-cited contemporary
publications to influential classic works; 500 index entries covering
frequently used concepts in the field; more than 100 thought-provoking
questions, all elaborately answered, which are ideal for
teacher-supported self-education; nearly 100 assignments that provide
ample material for teachers to focus on specific topics of their own
preference in their lectures.  Jan Renkema is a member of the
Discourse Studies Group at Tilburg University, The Netherlands, where
he also holds the Chair in Effective Language Use. He is general
editor of IDJ + DD (Information Design Journal + Document Design).
