Discourse and Power by Teun A Van Dijk
Teun van Dijk is one of the founders of Critical Discourse Studies and this collection brings together some of his most important writing, framed by new introductory material. He examines the role of discourse in the reproduction of power and domination in society and the ways in which media and political elites control access to public discourse.
'Discourse and Power is..a valuable and important collection' - Wu-Peng, Jiangsu University Discourse& Communication 'This book is very useful in bringing together van Dijk's earlier, well-known work in CDS, and in continuing to promote the interdisciplinary approach to analyzing data.' - Journal of Sociolinguistics
