Editorial Reviews
Review
Overall, this book stands as a comprehensive and authoritative reference resource for research currently being conducted in the field of discourse studies. The pellucid organization of this collection provides readers with a wealth of information on the history, theory, methodology and current trends of discourse research. One of the book’s outstanding features is the transparency of connections between the writings of various authors, which serves to fuse the collection into a coherent whole and to assist readers in recognizing and internalizing these connections. –Discourse Studies, Jixian Pang and Jun Chen, School of International Studies, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, P.R.
