Summary

"Doing Discourse Analysis: Methods for Studying Action in Talk and Text draws on conversation analysis, critical discourse analysis, pragmatics, and, particularly, the discursive approach developed in social psychology. Authors Linda A. Wood and Rolf O. Kroger present examples of actual discourse analyses, cover procedures of data collection and strategies for data analysis, and address issues of reliability and validity or the scientific warrants for discourse-analytic work." "Providing both the practical steps for doing discourse analysis and the theoretical justifications for these steps, this book is for students and researchers undertaking discourse analysis."--Jacket.
