The Handbook of Discourse Analysis cover

The second edition of the highly successful Handbook of Discourse Analysis has been expanded and thoroughly updated to reflect the very latest research to have developed since the original publication, including new theoretical paradigms and  discourse-analytic models, in an authoritative two-volume set.

  • Twenty new chapters highlight emerging trends and the latest areas of research
  • Contributions reflect the range, depth, and richness of current research in the field
  • Chapters are written by internationally-recognized leaders in their respective fields, constituting a Who’s Who of Discourse Analysis
  • A vital resource for scholars and students in discourse studies as well as for researchers in related fields who seek authoritative overviews of discourse analytic issues, theories, and methods

"this Blackwell volume is the best volume for specialists because of its breadth and clear aim to write for professional linguists." (Exegetical Tools 2016)

‘The 2nd edition of The Handbook of Discourse Analysis boasts chapters by major figures (e.g. Gumperz, Holmes, Johnstone, Labov, Lakoff, Schegloff, Ochs, Shuy, Tannen, van Dijk, Wodak) and its reconfiguration of chapters captures important scholarly trends in discourse analytic research and reflects a fairly substantive reconceptualization of the field.’ (Susan Ehrlich, Journal of Sociolinguistics 20/2, 2016).
