Description
What can language tell us about society? Looking at a range of genres, from political speeches to internet chat, this book shows how qualitative methods are used to analyse discourses throughout the social sciences. The practical problems of designing and conducting discourse-based research are solved in this key resource for all social scientists.
The structure of the book is well suited to didactic purposes, and the concise and well formatted chapters containing much illustrative material makes the presentation lucid.' - Qualitative Sociology Review 'This volume offers an important contribution by providing a collection of discourse as text-in-context case studies, with instructive features that make it a student-friendly resource. A worthwhile read, not only for students, but for anyone who wants to apply discourse analytic approaches in various dimensions of social research.' - Journal of Language and Politics
