Description
Discourse and Social Change by Norman Fairclough is a critical introduction to discourse analysis as it is practised in various disciplines today. The author provides a concise review of methods and results, discussing the work of linguists, conversation analysts, and Michel Foucault, while developing an original framework for discourse analysis that situates discourse within broader social relations. Fairclough's approach combines text analysis with the study of processes of text production and interpretation, as well as the social analysis of discourse events. This book offers a systematic and fruitful way to combine concern with discourse analysis with interest in broader problems of social change. By examining the methods and results of discourse analysis, Fairclough provides valuable insights into how language is used in social contexts, making this book an important resource for scholars and researchers in linguistics, sociology, and cultural studies.
