Discourse Analysis beyond the Speech Event
Discourse Analysis beyond the Speech Event argues for and introduces a new approach to discourse analysis. Speech events such as conversations, jokes and interviews form the basis of much discourse analytic work but they tend to be studied with the view that key social patterns are established and fixed. This book contends that discourse analysts should instead be looking at the development of discourses over time and across events and speech units. This will allow researchers to understand not only the individual event itself, but also the relationship between events, to offer greater depth to research. This book is invaluable reading for any students or researchers who are interested in discourse analysis.
