Abstract:

Discourse Analysis beyond the Speech Event introduces a new approach to
discourse analysis. In this innovative work, Wortham and Reyes argue that
discourse analysts should look beyond fixed speech events and consider the
development of discourses over time. Drawing on theories and methods from
linguistic anthropology and related fields, this book is the first to present
a systematic methodological approach to conducting discourse analysis of
linked events, allowing researchers to understand not only individual events
but also the patterns that emerge across them.
