x, 279 p. James Paul Gee's "Introduction to Discourse Analysis: Theory and Method" (5th edition) provides a comprehensive guide to conducting discourse analysis. The book outlines Gee's approach, which involves examining how language is used in context to construct meaning, identities, relationships, and social practices. The theoretical framework is built around seven "building tasks" that language performs: significance, practices, identities, relationships, politics, connections, and sign systems and knowledge. Gee introduces six "tools of inquiry" for analysing these tasks: situated meanings, social languages, figured worlds, intertextuality, Discourses, and Conversations. Methodologically, Gee emphasizes the importance of context and the reciprocal relationship between language and context.
