This carefully structured reader is much more than just a collection of previously published papers, it offers: an introduction to the field; editorial commentaries which present the key epistemological and methodological issues of discourse theory and practice; strong pedagogic features; The book is organized into four coherent parts and features key readings by Stuart Hall, Jonathan Potter, David Silverman, Erving Goffman, Teun van Dijk, Derek Edwards and Michael Billig. Discourse Theory and Practice is the only reader in discourse analysis compiled with a readership of psychology, cultural studies and sociology students in mind.

Review :
`A highly effective introduction to the range of approaches found in discourse analysis… a lively and intellectually stimulating Reader′ - David Silverman, Goldsmith College, University of London It is a very comprehensive book. The selection of articles is well done. This book is incredibly comprehensive, with very clear and helpful explanations of different discourse analytic approaches. This is a wide ranging review of issues related to discourse theory. I may point PG students who are exploring more interpretive methods of research to this book, but it is quite specialised, and presumes some prior knowledge about discourse theory. A must have text for all students (undergraduate and postgraduate) wishing to pursue discourse analysis research. Very useful and comprehensive guide to discourse analysis. I will be recommending it on the course This book contains the texts that are used as examples in the "parent" book "Discourse as Data". However, the collection stands in its own right as a fascinating insight into the range of discursive representations that often pass us by as sources of meta-information on a text and its speaker. I also value the information on notation and how to markup, and indeed identify, linguistic and paralinguistic cues. All-encompassing, accessible while retaining depth, this is a useful resource for anyone interested in the history and application of discourse analysis An excellent text for those looking to understand more of the theory and history behind contemporary approaches to qualitative analysis. Highly recommended to my Doctoral students, particularly alongside the companion volume "Discourse as Data: A guide for analysis"."
