Perspectives
I benefit a lot from this book personally. The studies included in this volume are qualitative in nature with a wide coverage of topics from politics, economics, education and media, to social relations and social interactions. A variety of approaches are applied to discursive analyses, such as critical discourse analysis, natural history of discourse perspective, and conversation analysis.
