About this book

Discourse: A Critical Introduction (Key Topics in Sociolinguistics) by Jan Blommaert. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780521535311.

Organized thematically, this introduction outlines the basic principles and moves on to examine the methods and theory of CDA (critical discourse analysis). Topics covered include text and context, language and inequality, choice and determination, history and process, ideology and identity. Jan Blommaert focuses on how language can offer a crucial understanding of wider aspects of power relations, arguing that CDA should specifically analyze the effects of power.
