"This text strikes the perfect balance between coverage and practice. Every major topic in discourse analysis is introduced, illustrated, and referenced in the different chapters. The exercises incorporate extensive data from a variety of languages and situations, including discourse, and discourse in electronic media. Both students and scholars will draw upon this text as a substantive new resource in discourse analysis." Ellen Barton, Wayne State University "Barbara Johnstone has written a clear and engaging introduction to discourse analysis - one that encourages attention to the smallest linguistic details while shedding light on the broadest sociocultural issues. Outstanding discussion questions and activities offer students opportunities not only to reflect on what they have just read but to apply these new concepts to a wide range of important real-life discourses." Heidi E. Hamilton, Georgetown University "As Johnsotne observes, "anyone who wants to understand human beings has to understand discourse"(7). All those whoe seek such understanding and teach others how to sutdy discourses regardless of their discipline or departmental home ought to have Johnstone's Discourse Analysis in their bookshelves." Maureen Daly Goggin, Arizona State University
