Texts and Practices: Readings in Critical Discourse Analysis

The essays in Texts and Practices demonstrate how Critical Discourse Analysis can be applied to a variety of written and spoken texts, by deconstructing data from a range of contexts, countries and spheres and exposing hidden patterns of discrimination and inequalities of power. Texts and Practices, which includes specially commissioned papers from a range of distinguished authors, provides a state-of-the-art introduction to Critical Discourse Analysis, making it an important contribution to this developing field. It will be essential for all those interested in language, media and cultural studies.
