Analysis for Social Research Norman Fairclough

|
Analysing Discourse is an accessible
introduction to text and discourse analysis for all students and researchers
working with real language data. Students across
disciplines rely on texts, conversations or interviews in their research.
Many discover that they cannot get as much from this data as they would like,
because they are unsure about exactly how to analyse
their material. This book provides a step-by-step guide to using and
investigating real language data, helping students and researchers to get the
most out of their resources. Drawing a range of
social theorists from Bourdieu to Habermas, as well as his own research, Fairclough's book presents a form of language analysis
with a consistently social perspective. His approach is illustrated by and
investigates through a range of real texts, from political speeches to
management consultancy and broadcast news reports. Offering accessible
summaries, an appendix of examples and a glossary of terms and key theorists,
Analysing Discourse is
an essential resource for anyone using and investigating real language data. Norman Fairclough is Professor of Language in Social Life in |
