New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2014. "Contemporary Critical Discourse Studies is a really important and timely addition to the literature in the field... the volume presents recent developments, of both a theoretical and methodological kind which have never yet been compiled in such a consistent, systematic and thoughtful way. This comprehensive volume finally makes the vast range of current approaches, ideas, and empirical research accessible for a broad social science public and addresses scholars and students alike." - Ruth Wodak.
