Abstract:

The second edition of this highly regarded textbook is designed to introduce
students at the tertiary level to both Systemic Functional Linguistics and
Critical Discourse Analysis. It develops critical analytical skills by rooting
analysis in SFL methodology so that students can learn to analyze a range of
discourse types. Each chapter builds a methodological foundation for the
development of critical discourse analytical skills. SFL provides novice
analysts with a rich set of resources for CDA and equips them to better
reflect on what language is doing and why. 

'The Power of Language' offers explanations along with a range of sample
analyses to illustrate theory and provide applications of the methodologies
introduced in each chapter. Students not only learn by studying a number of
analyses but carry out their own analytical work on other samples, thus
gaining experience. Each chapter also includes examples of analyses by well
know researchers so that novice analysts become familiar with various
approaches to analysis. 

This new edition has been thoroughly updated throughout and features an
expanded first chapter on language and international conflict, a new second
chapter focusing on language and political fear, an expanded chapter on
multimodal communication and an entirely new chapter on language and social
media. Other chapters have been updated with new sample analyses and
activities.
