Biography
Christopher Hart is Professor of Linguistics in the Department of Linguistics and English Language at Lancaster University, UK. His research is focussed on the link between language, cognition, and social action in political contexts of communication. He is author of Critical Discourse Analysis and Cognitive Science: New Perspectives on Immigration Discourse (2010) and Discourse, Grammar and Ideology: Functional and Cognitive Perspectives (2014). He has edited several books including Contemporary Critical Discourse Analysis (2014) and Cognitive Linguistic Approaches to Text and Discourse: From Poetics to Politics (2019).
This is an excellent guide to doing discourse analysis. The chapters provide detailed accounts of different ways of approaching discourse analysis together with examples which illustrate each of the approaches. An extremely accessible and useful book. I highly recommend it.

Chris Hart's new edited book is as relevant for the multidisciplinary field of Discourse Studies as his previous books. The prominent authors introduce some of the cutting edge domains and topics of contemporary scholarship. This is an excellent introduction for students and teachers should recommend it for courses on discourse studies.
