Analysing Discourse : Textual Analysis for Social Research

---

This book is an accessible introduction to text and discourse analysis for all students and researchers working with real language data. Students across disciplines rely on texts, conversations or interviews in their research. Many discover that they cannot get as much from this data as they would like, because they are unsure about exactly how to analyse their material. This book provides a step-by-step guide to using and investigating real language data, helping students and researchers to get the most out of their resources. Drawing on a range of social theorists from Bourdieu to Habermas, as well as his own research, Fairclough's book presents a form of language analysis with a consistently social perspective. His approach is illustrated by and investigated through a range of real texts, from political speeches to management consultancy and broadcast news reports. Offering accessible summaries, an appendix of examples and a glossary of terms and key theorists, this book is an essential resource for anyone using and investigating real language data.
