About the Author
Review An outstanding textbook that introduces students to a wide range of topics in discourse analysis. Written in a highly accessible style, it provides crystal clear explanations along with a wealth of fascinating examples of different discourse genres originating from diverse global contexts.Camilla Vásquez, Professor of Applied Linguistics, University of South Florida, USAOver the last decade, my students have praised Paltridge's Discourse Analysis for being a very clear, engaging, and enjoyable read. The third edition of this seminal textbook embraces latest theoretical developments in the conceptualisation and study of language in context, providing clear and recent examples of how discourse shapes our world.Maria Kuteeva, Professor of English Linguistics, Stockholm University, SwedenThe book finds a good balance between theoretical and applied issues in discourse analysis. Each chapter thoroughly explores methodological and theoretical premises of discourse analytic approaches, tracing their evolution and developments, and giving priority to the current trends...The book's strength lies particularly in its ability to establish connections between discursive concepts and first and second language teaching environments...it is recommendable both for students and teachers encountering discourse analysis for the first time.Journal of Sociolinguistics (of the previous edition)
