Info
Designed
for researchers and students interested in
exploring how speakers and writers construe
meaning through discourse, this title draws
on tools for discourse analysis developed
in systemic functional linguistics and register
and genre theory. It requires no prior knowledge
of functional linguistics, and avoids academic
complexity wherever possible. It builds an
accessible set of analytic tools that can
be used with ease by scholars from a range
of disciplines. These tools are introduced
in clear steps through analyses of a set of
stories, arguments, reviews, procedures and
other texts, that exemplify how meanings are
constructed and contested in a culture, by
focusing on current issues of truth and reconciliation
in post-apartheid South Africa. Readers are
guided through these text analyses from five
complimentary perspectives on meaning. By
means of these detailed analyses, the text
provides a practical resource for application
in any field in which discourse analysis has
a role, including educational research, critical
discourse analysis, cultural studies, text
linguistics and language and literacy teaching.
It should be equally useful as a textbook
for undergraduate or post
