Inhaltsangabe

'TEXT' FOR SOLUS ONLY! new copy supplied in Nov. entered in LDHow do people engage in, and competently manage discourse and interaction with others? Whether in informal, everyday conversations or professional dialogues, people do (many) things while they are speaking or writing. Focusing on the fundamental interactional, social, political and cultural functions of text and talk, this volume shows that discourse is not merely form and meaning but also action. This social dimension of discourse is further highlighted by examining the role of social identity and group membership, such as those based on gender, 'race' and ethnicity: How do members of various groups typically speak among each other and how do they communicate with people of other groups or cultures? What is the role of discourse in the perpetuation or legitimation of sexism or racism? Several chapters use critical discourse analysis to examine the reproduction of social power, dominance and inequality, and special attention is paid to political and corporate discourse.Other contributions show that the complex interplay of the forms, meanings, and actions of discourse both shape and are shaped by culture. This volume closes the gap between the micro analysis of very detailed structures of talk with the macro analysis of their functions and variation in social structure and culture.NB: belongs with LD copy back laterDiscourse as Social Interacion will be essential reading for upper-level undergraduates and graduates in linguistics, literature, psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science, law and communication across the human and social sciences.
