Sommario/riassunto

Discourse: The Basics is an accessible and engaging introduction to the analysis of human interactions and the many forms, expressions and meanings they can take. The book draws on a range of international case studies and examples to address key questions such as: What is discourse? Why are there different approaches to understanding discourse? What issues affect the collection and management of discourse? How can discourse be represented? Including subject summaries, a glossary of key terms and suggestions for further reading, Discourse: The Basics is an essential guide for students in the Humanities and Social Sciences who are approaching discourse for the first time.
