About the Book

Discourse Interpretation: Approaches and Applications provides new insights into the complex area of discourse interpretation in a wide range of discourse types and genres. The authors adopt a variety of approaches to the representation and interpretation of meaning in discourse to share the understanding that discourse interpretation is a dynamic construct constantly open to reinterpretation in the light of the intentions and purposes of in particular social, historical and situational contexts.The chapters of the book comprise essays by linguists working in the fields of (critical) discourse analysis, pragmatics, stylistics and sociolinguistics which address methodological issues in discourse interpretation (Part I) and explore various aspects of representation and interpretation of meaning in different genres of spoken and written discourse, namely conversational, academic, media, political and fictional discourse (Part II).This volume, which combines theoretical insights with empirical investigations, contributes to a better understanding of the interpretative process and will be of interest to a wide range of researchers, scholars and students of English.

Review :
"Dontcheva-Navratilova and Povolna's collection is an informative and well-structured contribution to the complex area of studies in discourse representation and interpretation. Combining theoretical (Part I) and empirical (Part II) insights from authors working at the intersection of critical linguistics, socio-pragmatics and stylistics, it offers tools to scrutinize many of the central questions in this heterogeneous and challenging field."—Piotr Cap, University of Łódź"This volume focuses on discourse interpretation in very different discourses. Apart from the two introductory more theoretical chapters, this volume provides a wealth of empirical examples and analyses. The genres discussed range from political texts (like political advertising or opening addresses of conferences) to academic genres (like research articles and social-science textbooks), journalistic writing (like crime reports and life-style magazines), and interpersonal texts (like complements and short stories). This remarkable spread proves that new discourse pragmatic concepts can be fruitfully applied to many domains. It makes this volume interesting to many readers in all subdisciplines of English, either to catch up with latest empirical research or to gain inspiration for further work in the modern analysis of discourse. This collection is therefore highly welcome."—Josef Schmied, Chemnitz University of Technology
