Applied linguistics for ELT; Media studies

This book offers a ‘how-to’ guide to conducting research in discourse analysis. Organised around different approaches to discourse analysis and working with different types of discourse data, the book will help students answer questions such as: Which approach should I take? What kind of data should I analyse and how do I set about collecting it? What consideration should I give to ethics? How do I make my analyses systematic and rigorous? How do I report my findings?

Both qualitative and quantitative (corpus-based and experimental) methods are covered. Illustrated with far-ranging, detailed, and original case-studies, each chapter follows a consistent format that takes readers step by step through the research process, from design to implementation and presentation. Chapters can be read independently of one another.

This is the ideal companion for any student undertaking research in discourse analysis within English language, linguistics, applied linguistics, and communication studies programmes.

Reviews for Researching Discourse: A Student Guide

This is an excellent guide to doing discourse analysis. The chapters provide detailed accounts of different ways of approaching discourse analysis together with examples which illustrate each of the approaches. An extremely accessible and useful book. I highly recommend it. Brian Paltridge, University of Sydney, Australia Chris Hart's new edited book is as relevant for the multidisciplinary field of Discourse Studies as his previous books. The prominent authors introduce some of the cutting edge domains and topics of contemporary scholarship. This is an excellent introduction for students and teachers should recommend it for courses on discourse studies. Teun A. van Dijk, Pompeu Fabra University, Spain
