Opis

'Analysing Power in Language' brings together a range of theoretical and analytical approaches to the critical analysis of discourse and integrates them within a coherent framework. In this way, Bartlett opens up the connections between whole texts and the social relations that underlie them. Each section of the book provides an in-depth presentation of a new method or set of related methods, worked examples of the methods, and texts for students to analyse and discuss.
