I am reading this for my PhD level Discourse Analysis class. So far, I am not a fan of this book. It is written at a very high academic level that makes it hard to understand the meaning of the words. Well, finished the book. Some chapters are more readable than others. Still, I would not recommend it for people that just want some basic understanding of Critical Discourse Analysis methods. I certainly did not enjoy my time spent reading it and found myself really confused. Good times in grad. school.

January 12, 2012Admirable for its attempt to offer a bird's eye view of a field notorious for its opacity and jargon. Some chapters are more accessible than others for beginners, but it's a helpful resource for at least getting the lay of the land.

May 1, 2016I've read this twice, but only because my first read in 2015 was more of a skimming.
