Analysing Representation: A Corpus and Discourse Textbook guides readers through the process of researching how people and phenomena are represented in discourse and introduces them to key tools they can use from corpus linguistics and (critical) discourse analysis. This book takes a step-by-step approach to introducing each concept and includes exercises and further reading to help readers check their progress and prepare for independent research. It is unique in introducing readers to a range of experts representing the full range of work in this area. This book is aimed at final-year undergraduate, taught postgraduate and doctoral level students. It wil also be useful to scholars who are new to combining corpus and discourse methods in investigations of representation.
"Written in an accessible and helpful style, this is a great textbook for anyone who wants to carry out analyses of representations and discourse on large collections of text. Concepts and techniques are clearly introduced and illustrated with engaging examples."
-- Paul Baker, Lancaster University
“A great new introduction to the linguistic analysis of representation, with clear explanations of concepts and methods in both corpus and discourse analysis. Expertly edited and featuring multiple contributors, the book equips readers with the skills and knowledge they need to undertake their own systematic representation research. Welcome features include concise definitions of key skills and concepts, concrete case studies, independent task suggestions, and, in particular, valuable methodological reflection. Highly recommended for students and teachers alike, as it assumes little background knowledge and offers clear and consistent chapter structures throughout.”
-- Monika Bednarek, The University of Sydney
