Approaches to Discourse : Language as Social Interaction, Paperback / softback Book

Approaches to Discourse : Language as Social Interaction Paperback / softback

Part of the Blackwell Textbooks in Linguistics series

Paperback / softback

Description

This is a guide to the various frameworks, concepts, and methods available for the analysis of discourse within linguistics.

It compares six dominant approaches to discourse analysis: speech act theory, pragmatics, ethnomethodology, interactional sociolinguistics, ethnography of communication, and variation theory. The author not only considers each approach from several standpoints but she also illustrates them through extensive applications to a variety of concrete social and linguistic problems facing discourse analysts.
