Description

Discourse: The Basics provides an accessible introduction to the analysis of human interactions through conversation, written communication, and other expressions. The book draws on international case studies and examples from literature, political speech, advertising, and newspaper articles to explore key questions about discourse, including its nature, approaches to understanding it, and how individual interactions relate to larger discourses that shape our thinking and behaviour. Suitable for students of language and the social sciences, as well as those interested in how meanings are made, Discourse: The Basics includes subject summaries, a glossary of key terms, and suggestions for further reading.
