"This book familiarizes the student with the key concepts and the major issues in the field of discourse studies. It provides a scientific ""toolkit"" for future courses on discourse studies and serves as a stepping stone to the independent study of the professional literature.;The material, organized in 17 short chapters, is based on more than 15 years of experience gained in teaching introductory courses. The book contains advice on further study, and background information about the origins of the central concepts (philosophy, psychology, sociology, etc). A number of classic studies are referred to from both the Anglo-American and the European tradition. Each chapter ends with questions and assignments to stimulate discussion about seemingly unproblematic distinctions."
