A unique anthology of textual analysis methodologies, Analyzing Text and Discourse offers a thorough introduction to the key approaches and the tools readers need to implement them.
Every chapter contains not just the theory behind each methodology, but also its advantages and disadvantages, its problems with ontology and language, and its relationship to studying social phenomenon.
