Product Description
Working with Spoken Discourse provides a comprehensive account of the expanding multidisciplinary field of discourse analysis. Combining theory and practice it covers a wide range of material in a lively and accessible style. It discusses current approaches, concepts and debates in the field of spoken discourse and provides a grounding in the practical techniques of discourse analysis and how to apply them to real data.
Working with Spoken Discourse is divided into three sections:
- The first section covers general issues - the definition of "discourse" and uses of discourse analysis; the practicalities and ethics of data collection; and the issues raised by transcription
- The second section covers a series of approaches to discourse analysis - ethnography of speaking; pragmatics; conversation analysis; interactional sociolinguistics; and critical discourse analysis
- The final section focuses on the applications of discourse analysis in social research and designing and writing up projects. It includes case studies of real projects
Working With Spoken Discourse will be invaluable reading for all students studying discourse as part of a linguistics or communication studies degree and for researchers in other social science disciplines who are dealing with data from interviews and wish to use discourse analysis as a method.
