Description
Discourse Analysis: The Sociolinguistic Analysis of Natural Language by Michael Stubbs is a seminal work that explores the study of naturally occurring connected discourse. This book extends traditional linguistics to analyse spontaneous and informal talk in various settings, including the home, classroom, or factory, as well as written narrative. Stubbs examines key questions about discourse structure, the relation between question and answer in conversation, and the limitations of contemporary linguistics and speech act theory. Drawing on copious examples from recorded conversations, field work observations, experimental data, and written texts, Stubbs provides a comprehensive analysis that is informed by insights from sociology and anthropology. The book includes practical guidelines for methods of data collection and analysis, as well as a full bibliography and suggestions for further reading. This detailed guide will be useful for students and researchers seeking to understand the complexities of natural language and its role in human communication.
