Trade Review'In this beautifully exemplified and neatly-structured work, Sutherland guides readers through the various ways of thinking about language in use. A must-read for students, scholars and practitioners with an interest in text and discourse analysis.' Sofia Lampropoulou, University of Liverpool, UK 'Pitched in a way beginning linguists can understand, Sutherland explains and provides an overview of central issues in discourse analysis. Written in a clear, lively style it introduces a breadth of key concepts and topics, including up-to-date examples. An accessible and engaging introduction.' Urszula Clark, Aston University, Birmingham, UK 'Finally a textbook on Discourse Analysis that really targets UG beginners who might have no background in the field. This is a great little book, lecturer and student friendly, very flexible and adaptable to different ways of structuring a course. I will adopt it as one of my main textbooks, I will recommend it for a first year UG module on language and also across the English programme.' Arianna Maiorani, Lougborough University, UK
