A Practical Guide

Beschreibung
This book provides a practical guide to a novel framework combining three diverse traditions within the field of discourse studies: Poststructuralist Discourse Theory, Critical Discourse Studies and Corpus Linguistics. By first covering a philosophical and conceptual overview to illustrate their compatibility, followed by detailed steps for applying them analytically within research projects, it offers an accessible framework for researchers and students interested in mixed-methods approaches to discourse analysis. The way that the book introduces both the core components of each tradition and a comprehensive framework for their amalgamation means that it will strongly interest both newcomers to the field and more experienced discourse analysts. The piece aims to act as a stimulus for greater dialogue between the traditions and to encourage further development of this unique combination of methodologies.

“Lucid, accessible, and illustrated with fascinating examples drawn from research on the mainstreaming of far-right politics, this short book makes a compelling case for combining Discourse Theory, Critical Discourse Studies, and Corpus Linguistics. It will appeal to anyone interested in doing discourse studies, regardless of their disciplinary background or familiarity with one or more of the three traditions brought into productive dialogue here.” (Prof Benjamin De Cleen, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium)
“In this original – and slightly provocative – Pivot, Katy Brown has done what few authors now do: stake out a novel approach to the critical analysis of discourse. Brimming with ideas, and summarising the latest developments in the field, Brown makes a case for integrating Poststructuralist Discourse Theory, Critical Discourse Studies and Corpus Linguistics, while underlining the need for discourse studies to be open to interdisciplinarity. The staged approach to applying her analytic framework will be particularly helpful for advanced undergraduates first embarking with empirical analysis, but are unsure about project design, data collection and analysis. Highly recommended.” (Dr. John E Richardson, University of Liverpool, UK)
