- discourse in globalisation and ‘transition’
- critical language awareness in education
The new edition has been extensively revised and enlarged to include a total of twenty two papers. It will be of value to researchers in the subject and should prove essential reading for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in Linguistics and other areas of social science.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The future of discourse analysis and linguistics,
By A Customer
This review is from: Critical Discourse Analysis: The Critical Study of Language (Languages in Social Life) (Paperback)
This book paves the way for a more socially-oriented and emancipatory discourse analysis, and linguistics in general. By incorporating analyses of discourse and social practices in language studies, Norman Fairclough succeeds in advancing the idea of language as a site of constant and dynamic struggles of people in society. This book shows us: first, how language both shapes and is shaped by society; second, how language in specific contexts can be designed and redesigned by contemporary discourse technologists to market people and products; and third, how language can satisfactorily be reshaped to change society towards emancipation and democracy. Read this book to understand aspects of contemporary society.
This book paves the way for language studies in the 20th century.
