| book description |

Featuring a series of engaging conversations with key figures in the field, this accessible Handbook outlines the crucial concepts of Critical Discourse Studies (CDS). Mapping the existing literature, contributors use qualitative and quantitative research to invite new engagements with CDS and to provide insight into primary debates. Chapters showcase the contributions of CDS scholars and their predictions for the future through conversations with key figures in the field. They explore the complexities of integrating empirical and theoretical approaches, as well as discussing fundamental methodological debates including those around decolonisation, argumentation, cognition, and affect. Expert authors survey the area through a series of specific case studies covering topics such as the environment, gender and sexuality, immigration, and discourse and governance. They assess the relationship between ethnography and CDS, the impact of the rise of social media, and the connections between CDS and health, wellbeing, and communication. The Handbook on Critical Discourse Studies is a vital resource for scholars and students interested in discourse, identity and power, especially but not limited to those studying communication, linguistics, politics and sociology.
