Rezensionen

MCA provides an orientation, set of questions, and identification of discrete discourse devices to aid understanding of the moral work being accomplished by speakers and writers as they select category terms and tie them to descriptions. Fitzgerald and Housley s Advances in Membership Categorization Analysis brings together cutting edge theoretical explication with fascinating examples ( YouTube posts, intimates video chatting, a review board assessing parole, a research team meeting, online breaking news updates) and is a must-read for anyone interested in identities and interaction.
