Featuring chapters written by so many of the leading scholars it will continue to be a stimulating and wide-ranging introduction to the discipline of discourse studies for new generations of students Malcolm Coulthard University of Birmingham <hr color= GBP666666 size= 1px /> This collection is a landmark in the oeuvre of one of the founding fathers of Discourse Analysis. Van Dijk has managed to edit a volume of lasting significance, and some of the chapters in this book belong to the most widely read in the field. In its totality, 'Discourse Studies' offers us a 360 degree tour of the field, bringing a wealth of insights to each of its aspects, and building a vocabulary for studying them that has in the meantime become the discourse of discourse analysis. Nothing in this volume is dated, everything remains mandatory reading for every student and advanced practicioner Jan Blommaert Tilburg University

The multidisciplinary approach of the book is very effective in drawing in students from diverse disciplinary backgrounds, while the chapters applying discourse analysis to specific areas like race and gender are useful too, for a range of students, depending on their interests. The two new chapters are essential reading for all my students of discourse analysis, especially the undergrads, who often find whole book treatments of the theory a bit heavy going. -- Sally Hunt This very welcome updated second edition will allow Teun van Dijk's very popular Discourse Studies to consolidate its already strong and central position in the area.
