OverviewSetting out a theoretical grounding for critical discourse analysis, this initial volume in the series sets out to meet three contemporary challenges to the subject: to develop a critical approach to discourse corresponding to the problems, issues and struggles of contemporary life; to ground critical discourse analysis in a coherent social theory and theory of critical social scientific research; and to clarify its relationship to other types of social analysis and to linguistics.

Table of ContentsReviewsThis is a well-written, accessible, and provocative example of the post-disciplinary analysis so necessary to understanding, explaining, and contesting the key institutional and socio-cultural features of late modern social formations. -- Bob Jessop This book is a timely addition to the ongoing theoretical debate about the nature of the social world today and ought to be of considerable interest to teachers and researchers in linguistics, sociology, psychology, philosophy, education and politics, as well as intercultural communication. On every page there is evidence that the authors have thought long and productively about CDA's connections with and differences from social theories ! In sum, this is a deeply-considered contribution. An eloquent introduction to the basic tenets of a critical approach, in the Fairclough tradition, to discourse as an element of social practice. A significant contribution to the ongoing establishment of an important new tradition in the social sciences.
