Abstract:

Revised and updated, this third edition of Barbara Johnstone’s Discourse
Analysis encourages students to think about discourse analysis as an
open-ended set of techniques. Exploring a variety of approaches, including
critical discourse analysis, conversation analysis, interactional and
variationist sociolinguistics, ethnography, corpus linguistics, social
semiotics, and other qualitative and quantitative methods, the book balances
its comprehensive coverage with extensive practical examples, making it the
ideal introductory text for students new to the subject.

This new edition reflects the increased importance within the field of new
media discourse, multi-modal discourse and the analysis of large corpora of
discourse data. Updated material expands the discussion of stancetaking,
whilst new material addresses recontextualization, precontextualization, and
language and the body. Pedagogical features have been refreshed, including
discussion questions, exercises, and ideas for small research projects, with
suggested supplementary readings at the end of each chapter to encourage
further discovery.

Chapters in this book are self-contained, so they can be handled in any order
 
Suggested supplementary readings are featured at the end of every chapter 

Book is written specifically for a non-specialist, interdisciplinary audience
 
Examples of computer-aided corpus analysis (reflecting the improvements made
to theories and tools) supplement every chapter 

Discussion questions and ideas for small research projects are interspersed
throughout 

The combination of breadth of coverage, practical examples, and
student-friendly pedagogical features ensures Discourse Analysis remains the
ideal textbook for students taking their first course in linguistic approaches
to discourse.
