3111 From emails relating to adoption over the internet to discussions in the airline
4 cockpit, the spoken or written texts we produce can have significant social
5 consequences. The area of mediated discourse analysis considers the actions
6 individuals take with texts – and the consequences of those actions.
7 Discourse in Action brings together the leading scholars from around the world
8 in the area of mediated discourse analysis and reveals ways in which its theory and
9 methodology can be used in research into contemporary social situations. Each
20111 chapter explores real situations and draws on real data to show how the analysis
1 of concrete social actions broadens our understanding of discourse. Taken together,
2 the chapters provide a comprehensive overview to the field and offer a range of
3 current studies that address some of the most important questions facing students
4 and researchers in linguistics, education, communication studies, and other fields.
