Description
Discourse and Language Education provides a practical introduction to discourse analysis, exploring how communication is structured to be socially appropriate and linguistically accurate. This book offers hands-on experience in analyzing discourse and studying written language.
The analyses presented demonstrate the role of linguistic signals in carrying out discourse goals and highlight differences between written and spoken language, as well as across languages. The text's focus on practical application makes it suitable for use in teacher education courses and linguistics and communications studies.
