Opis

Since the 1990s, Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) has taken hold and accrued an exceptional ammount attention in and across a number of academic disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. This collection collects: the most influential shorter pieces which adopt a CDA approach; some of the most influential antecedent essays and articles; critiques of CDA which clarify what is central and what is peripheral, what is theoretically well-grounded and what is fragile; and pieces which illustrate applications of the CDA principles and methods. A new index and chronological table of contents guide the reader through the wide range of material.
