This is a guide to the various frameworks, concepts, and methods
available for the analysis of discourse within linguistics. It
compares six dominant approaches to discourse analysis: speech act
theory, pragmatics, ethnomethodology, interactional
sociolinguistics, ethnography of communication, and variation
theory.
The author not only considers each approach from several standpoints but she also illustrates them through extensive applications to a variety of concrete social and linguistic problems facing discourse analysts.
