Papers in Critical Discourse Analysis

This book is a collection of research papers relating to the highly influential topics of critical discourse analysis. Critical discourse analysis is an interdisciplinary approach which addresses language as a form of a social practice. It investigates how societal power relations are produced and reproduced through language use. It is able to adequately produce insights to the way discourse resists social and political inequality power abuse or domination. Critical discourse analysis does not limit its analysis to particular structure of text and talk but systematically relates these to the structures of sociopolitical context. Thus, the book is of value to those who are interested in racism, feminism, sexism, inequality and different types of societal abuses.
