Product Description
This book brings together work on critical discourse analysis to explore language in power and ideology. Divided into four sections, the first examines the development of an analytical framework for researching language in relation to power and ideology. The second section deals with the theme of discourse and contemporary social and cultural change, and the use of a critical discourse analysis analysis frmaework in the studyof change. Chapters in the third section address discourse analysis based outside language studies, arguing for the use of textual analysis in discourse analysis as a method of social research. The final section is concerned with critical language awareness, educational applications of critical discourse analysis within language programmes in schools and educational institutions.

5.0 out of 5 stars The future of discourse analysis and linguistics, December 6, 1996
By A Customer
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. Topsie Ruanni F. Tupas (ttupas@vt.edu)
