Introducing Discourse Analysis

From Grammar to Society

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Introducing Discourse Analysis is a concise and accessible introduction by James Paul Gee to the fundamental ideas behind specific approaches to discourse analysis, or the analysis of language in use. Gee stresses how grammar sets up choices for speakers and writers to make, choices which express, not unvarnished truth, but perspectives or viewpoints on reality. Introducing Discourse Analysis is an essential primer for all students of discourse analysis within linguistics, education, communication studies and related areas.
