Texts and Practices Revisited: Essential Readings in Critical Discourse Analysis

A state-of-the-art collection on the theory and practice of CDA with 13 completely new chapters by authorities in the field reflecting their most recent research, including two key scholars from the Global South, and three significantly updated versions of classic chapters. With timely topics of wide interest across disciplines such as gender discourse, political bias, ageism, and new media, the book can be used as main text on CDA modules and as supplementary text for other modules such as sociolinguistics, language and media, language and communication, language and gender. Unlike other titles, the book both showcases original research by leading scholars and is an accessible and timely textbook, ideal for use on courses.
