Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A thoughtful, student-friendly introduction to the ways that language creates meaning in its social and cultural contexts In Studying Language, Producing Knowledge: An Introduction to Discourse Analysis, Anne Maentynen and Sari Pietikaeinen offer a comprehensive yet accessible guide to one of the most important areas of study in sociolinguistics. This textbook introduces discourse as both a theoretical perspective and a practical method for examining the relationship between language and society. Grounded in the idea that language is a form of social action, it explores how discourses shape, and are shaped by, the production of knowledge across cultural, political, and institutional contexts. Balancing conceptual depth with clarifying explanation, this valuable textbook offers guidance for conducting discourse analysisfrom developing research questions and selecting data to building arguments and writing up findings. Drawing on established frameworks such as Faircloughs three-dimensional model and newer approaches including nexus analysis and critical assemblage analysis, the book provides clear connections between theory and method. Each chapter includes overviews, key concepts, takeaways, discussion points, and real-world examples to prepare students to analyze language as a central force in social and intellectual life. Equipping students to think critically about how meaning is made, regulated, and contested, Studying Language, Producing Knowledge: Highlights the role of discourse in the production and circulation of knowledge across diverse social and cultural settingsOffers a unique framework that examines language through the dual forces of stasis and changePresents discourse as a dynamic intersection of power, ideology, and practiceIncorporates linguistic, cultural, and political perspectives to illuminate how language both reflects and shapes social realitiesProvides conceptual and methodological tools to conduct research in language and society Studying Language, Producing Knowledge is ideal for students in linguistics, communication, cultural studies, sociology of language, and related disciplines.
