Description

This collection reviews 20 years of research into spoken discourse by the Birmingham group from a developmental perspective. It combines previously published but unavailable work with new research. Bringing together recent theories of discourse structure with a new and detailed analytic framework, the book emphasises both historical context and new developments. The articles are comprehensive, ranging from the theoretical to the applied. Practical applications include language teaching, literary stylistics and forensic linguistics with examples taken from literature and language classrooms, telephone conversations, disputed witness statements and corpuses of spoken English. This book should be of interest to undergraduates and postgraduates, and those interested in linguistics, particularly discourse analysis.
