Produktbeschreibung
Now fully revised, Discourse Analysis: The Questions Discourse Analysts Ask and How They Answer Them, remains the only introductory text organized around the fundamental questions that drive discourse analysis research. This approach cultivates a principled understanding of this interdisciplinary field by examining how analysts of different empirical persuasions systematically address core issues: How is discourse structured? How are social actions accomplished in discourse? How are identities constructed in discourse? How are ideologies navigated in discourse? The answer to each question is illustrated with transcripts and analyses of actual discourse drawn from key studies in the field. Important concepts appear as boxed definitions throughout each chapter, while probing questions and analytical tasks guide readers through practical applications of discourse analysis methods. This second edition features reconceptualized, reorganized, and expanded content, with significant updates addressing analyses of multimodal texts in digital environments. A new final chapter offers practical guidance for using the book and showcases exemplary student work. With its unique question-based framework and range of helpful features, this comprehensive guide to the complex world of discourse is an ideal resource for undergraduate and graduate students encountering discourse analysis for the first time.

Rezensionen
"Waring's book comes close to telling 'everything you need to know about discourse analysis.' It is remarkable not only for its breadth of coverage, but for the ecumenical spirit in which diverse purposes and methods for discourse analysis are reviewed, in clear language, with accuracy and fairness. This wise and even handed overview will be of use to beginners and experts alike."
- Frederick Erickson, University of California, Los Angeles, USA

"Among many introductions to the study of discourse, Hansung Waring's book stands out by focusing not on theories, methods or approaches but on the type of general questions discourse analysts ask. Across theories, methods and approaches, and based on many years of teaching discourse and conversation analysis, she thus offers an excellent introduction to the field, with many examples of discourse and methods of their analysis."
- Teun A. van Dijk, Pompeu Fabra University, Spain

"Discourse analysis is a notoriously complex interdisciplinary terrain to capture. Hansun Zhang Waring negotiates that terrain deftly to provide a work that is clear, engaging and comprehensive. She has done the community a service with the systematic scope of her coverage and the effective way it is organized around questions and answers. It is a book that students and teachers have been crying out for - there is nothing that covers the field in quite this way."
- Jonathan Potter, Rutgers University, USA
