DISCOURSE ANALYSIS A resource book for students

The Routledge English Language Introductions are ‘flexi-­‐texts’ that you can use to suit your own style of study. The books are divided into four sections: A Introduction– sets out the key concepts for the area of study. The units of this section take you through the foundational concepts, providing you with an initial toolkit for your own study. By the end of the section, you will have a good overview of the whole field. B Development– adds to your knowledge and builds on the key ideas already introduced. Units in this section also introduce key analytical tools and techniques. By the end of this section, you will already have a good and fairly detailed grasp of the field, and will be ready to undertake your own exploration and thinking. C Exploration– provides examples of language data and guides you through your own investigation of the topic or area. The units in this section will be more open-­‐ended and exploratory, and you will be encouraged to try out your ideas and think for yourself, using your newly acquired knowledge. D Extension– offers you the chance to compare your expertise with key readings in the area. These are taken from the work of important writers, and are provided with guidance and questions for your further thought. You can read this book like a traditional textbook, ‘vertically’ straight through from beginning to end. So you would establish a broad sense of the key ideas by reading through section A, and deepen your knowledge by reading section B. Section C would then present you with one or more Activities to test out different aspects of your broad knowledge. Finally, having gained a good level of competence, you can read the section D articles and follow up the Further Reading. However, the Routledge English Language Introductions have been designed so that you can read them in another dimension, ‘horizontally’ across the numbered units. For example, units A1, B1, C1 and D1 constitute a strand, then developing your knowledge, then testing out and exploring some key ideas, and finally offering you a key case-­‐study to read. The strand across A2, B2, C2, D2, and the other strands 3, 4, 5, and so on, all work in the same way. Reading across the strands will take you rapidly from the key concepts of a specific topic, to a level of expertise in that precise topic, all with a very close focus. You can match your way of reading with the best way that you work. The glossarial index at the end, together with the suggestions for Further Reading for each strand will help to keep you orientated. Each textbook has a supporting website with extra commentary, suggestions, additional material and support for teachers and students.
