‘A landmark in the oeuvre of one of the founding fathers of discourse analysis. Van Dijk has managed to edit a volume of lasting significance, and some of the chapters in this book belong to the most widely read in the field. In its totality,
Discourse Studies offers us a 360 degree tour of the field… Nothing in this volume is dated, everything remains mandatory reading for every student and advanced practicioner.’
– Jan Blommaert, Tilburg University
‘This very welcome updated second edition will allow Teun van Dijk′s very popular
Discourse Studies to consolidate its already strong and central position in the area. Featuring chapters written by so many of the leading scholars it will continue to be a stimulating and wide-ranging introduction to the discipline of discourse studies for new generations of students.’
– Malcolm Coulthard, University of Birmingham
This book is the largest, most complete, most diverse and only multidisciplinary introduction to the field.
