Description
Over the last decade, Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) has accrued an exceptional amount of attention across a wide number of academic disciplines within the humanities and social sciences. In almost every field of human activity, we are surrounded by and caught up in a network of texts and discourses.
At the same time, a gradual enfranchising of individuals in Western societies tends to make us less inclined to accept those surrounding texts and discourses unquestioningly.
It is these twin factors that underpin all studies that appear under the aegis of CDA. This unique, multidisciplinary collection gathers together the most influential writings adopting a CDA approach, along with the most important antecedent essays and articles from the earlier Twentieth Century.
The articles that make up this collection are drawn from a wide range of journal sources, including articles critical of the Critical Discourse Analysis approach as well as those that illustrate applications of its principles and methods. A detailed index and new introduction by the editor will help the reader navigate this wealth of diverse material.
