  • Why are there different approaches to understanding discourse?



  • How are individual interactions connected with the larger discourses that frame our ways of thinking and behaving?



  • Howcan discourse be analysed and researched?



Discourse: The Basics includessubject summaries, a glossary of key terms and suggestions for further reading.It will be of particular relevance to students of language and the social sciences but also useful to all students who are interested in how meanings are made.
