  • Presents a powerful approach to text analysis that reveals the links between language usage and a community’s assumptions, convictions, and understandings
  • Identifies a range of power types, appropriate to different contexts
  • Explains and illustrates a social approach to text analysis with important linguistic concepts woven in seamlessly with examples of discourse
  • Offers concrete guidance in text and discourse analysis with carefully crafted examples and fully illustrated explanations.
