Abstract:
Discourse Studies is an interdisciplinary field studying the social production
of meaning across the entire spectrum of the social sciences and humanities.
The Discourse Studies Reader brings together 40 key readings from discourse
researchers in Europe and North America, some of which are now translated into
English for the first time. Divided into seven sections – ‘Theoretical
Inspirations: Structuralism versus Pragmatics’, ‘From Structuralism to
Poststructuralism’, ‘Enunciative Pragmatics’, ‘Interactionism’,
‘Sociopragmatics’, ‘Historical Knowledge’ and ‘Critical Approaches’ – The
Discourse Studies Reader offers a comprehensive overview of the main currents
in discourse studies, both discourse theory and discourse analysis. With short
introductions elaborating the broader context, the sections present key
selections from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds by placing them into
their respective epistemological traditions. The Discourse Studies Reader is
an indispensable textbook for students and scholars alike who are interested
in discourse theoretical questions and working with discourse analytical
methods.
