This book is a must and an invaluable resource for scholars and students interested in the nexus between discourse, power and society.
This is the best overview of CDS I know. Revised, updated with new topics such as social media, and easier to read. This book is a must for all students of discourse studies.
A classic collection on critical discourse analysis. Bringing together seminal pieces by the leading figures of the field and innovative contributions by younger scholars, this updated and enhanced edition constitutes both an important scholarly achievement and a most valuable teaching resource.
The book is undoubtedly
an essential read and a valuable sourcebook for scholars and students interested in the

I have noticed an increased interest in CDA among research students. This book is scientifically designed to guide students on the method. The most interesting aspects is the clear, explicit yet rigorous approach taken in writing this book.
An interesting read, enabling students to develop their knowledge and understanding of the topic.
