{"product_id":"discourse-analysis-michael-stubbs-9780226778334","title":"Discourse Analysis: The Sociolinguistic Analysis of Natural Language","description":"Linguistics has traditionally concentrated on studying single sentences or isolated speech acts. In this book Michael Stubbs explores one of the most promising new directions in contemporary linguistics-the study of many sentences and how they fit together to form discourse. Using many examples drawn from recorded conversations, fieldwork observations, experimental data, and written texts, he discusses such questions as how far discourse structure is comparable to sentence structure; whether it is possible to talk of \"well formed\" discourse as one does of \"grammatical\" sentences; and whether the relation between question and answer in conversation is syntactic, semantic, or pragmatic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Stubbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226778339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226778334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/1983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 279\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 6.09w x 0.64d","brand":"Michael Stubbs","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46431299895551,"sku":"9780226778334","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a83d630a-81b7-44cb-8dca-06197968b34d.jpg?v=1735140917","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/discourse-analysis-michael-stubbs-9780226778334","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
