Routledge Handbook of Discourse Analysis [Hardback]

This discourse analysis handbook wins hands down as the most intellectually responsible in the field - both in terms of the comprehensiveness of the topics considered and the international spectrum of specialists involved.

James Martin, University of Sydney, Australia

The Handbook of Discourse Analysis is accessible to undergraduates and yet a state-of-the-art introduction for graduate students and practicing researchers in a wide range of fields. There are many introductions to or handbooks of Discourse Analysis available today. This is the most comprehensive, up-to-date, and internationally representative of them all.

Sarah Michaels, Clark University, USA '... there is little doubt that the volume will be of use for both students and researchers alike. For those new to DA, the variety of approaches and applications discussed should help the researcher better understand approaches to DA and how they might be useful in specific contexts. Moreover, because of the wide variety of outlooks presented, and the inclusion of remodelled approaches, new research, and arguements for more traditional approaches to be modified, there are likely to be interesting discoveries to be made for even those with a strong background in DA.' - LinguistList
