Summary: An excellent introduction to the field
Comment: This first volume, along with Volume 2: Discourse as Social Interaction, provides an excellent introduction to the field that includes the most contemporary perspectives. Topics covered in Voume 1 include semantics, stylistics, narrative, argumentation, and cognition (including social cognition).

One strength of the approach is the emphasis on critical and explanatory discourse analysis, including the analysis of ideology, rather than simply descriptive commentary on discourse. Another strength is the extensive list of references for each chapter - something that will be very useful when making detailed forays into different research areas.

Beginning researchers will find this strong collection fascinating and will certainly want to read more in the field. More experienced researchers will probably appreciate the clarity and critical edge of the essays. Highly recommended.
