Discourse, Rhetoric, and Social Perspectives
- Glenn Stillar - University of Waterloo, Canada
April 1998 | 216 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc
By outlining and integrating three different perspectives - discourse, rhetoric and social theory - this book provides a comprehensive and well-illustrated framework for the analysis of everyday texts.
The first part of the book describes the tools and resources which can be drawn from discourse analysis, rhetorical theory and social theory. These perspectives are then brought together in an extensive analysis of everyday texts, whilst the last chapter reflects on the principles and consequences of conducting theoretically informed critical textual analysis.
