Methods for Critical Discourse Analysis
- Ruth Wodak - University of Lancaster, UK
- Michael Meyer - Vienna University of Economics and Business, Austria
This new edition has been updated throughout, with a new introduction contextualizing the development of the CDA approach, and two entirely new chapters on the 'social actor approach' to CDA and the use of quantitative corpus linguistic methods. The editors have brought together contributions from leading experts in the field, who each introduce their own approaches to CDA. Examples are included throughout, demonstrating the value of the method in analyzing a variety of genres of written material on a whole range of topics, including global warming, leadership in management, and globalization.
This book will be of great interest to students and researchers in linguistics, sociology, and psychology interested in interdisciplinary approaches to coping with topical social problems.
This book provides useful introduction to various uses of critical discourse analysis. In addition the book is an excellent resource for Research students.
This book provides an excellent introduction to various uses of critical discourse analysis and is a very good update to older literature used in our master level courses in the social science of religion.
I will also be using it as recommended reading for doctoral students.
A great book for students as supplementary reading to an introductory text.
This is an accessible and useful addition to the texts we recommend to our students to help them reflect on their supervisory interactions in the workplace.
Another good reference for CDA Methods.
This is not suitable for the Masters in Teaching and Learning course but fine in its own right and we will not be adopting it.
This book was on the list of recommended further readings. It provides good overview for those who will be using discourse analysis in their thesis.
A highly recommended and clearly laid out text that offers some extremely useful contributions from leading experts in the field.
The strong feature of this book is the contributions from leading experts in the field. Highly recommended for those who deal with CDA; up to date, good examples from a variety of different topics and perspectives.
I have gone through the text and found it to require considerably higher levels of prior knowledge in social science methodology and theory. I have therefore chosen to include some chapters of the text (not decided which ones yet) as supplemental/optional reading, for those who feel sufficiently well advanced to read these chapters.
