The Routledge Handbook of Critical Discourse Studies cover

The Routledge Handbook of Critical Discourse Studies provides a state-of-the-art overview of the important and rapidly developing field of Critical Discourse Studies (CDS). Forty-one chapters from leading international scholars cover the central theories, concepts, contexts and applications of CDS and how they have developed, encompassing:

  • approaches
  • analytical methods
  • interdisciplinarity
  • social divisions and power
  • domains and media.

Including methodologies to assist those undertaking their own critical research of discourse, this Handbook is key reading for all those engaged in the study and research of Critical Discourse Analysis within English Language and Linguistics, Communication, Media Studies and related areas.

"This Handbook is well written and organized, and its significant contribution to the development of CDS is undeniable, for it reflects the major theoretical and methodological achievements and serves as an indispensable guide for researchers and advanced students to conduct their specific research projects in CDS, sociolinguistics, pragmatics, politics, (social) media studies, communication and other neighboring disciplines."
