“It is unusual in discourse analysis to find a book as
thought-provoking or as wide-ranging as this. Any student of
pragmatics, discourse analysis (critical or otherwise), text
linguistics or corpus linguistics will need to consider carefully
what Henry Widdowson has to say; his positions are too well argued
to be simply ignored.”
Michael Hoey, University of Liverpool
"Text, Context, Pretext covers much ground in discourse
analysis ranging from its early precursors (e.g. B Malinowski, Z.
Harris) to its contemporary practitioners. The notion of pretext
provides a new approach to the discussion of critical issues in
(critical) discourse analysis."
Journal of Sociolinguistics
"The Volume, greatly ro its credit, raises the awareness of
various critical issues which need to be considered when embarking
on research in Critical Discourse Analysis."
