Discourse Studies – Ways and Crossroads

The volume brings together papers exploring major topics in Discourse Studies in cross-cultural, diachronic and interdisciplinary perspectives. It covers both the field’s theoretical foundations and empirical studies. The topics include theoretical issues, media discourse, professional discourse, and political discourse.

The volume brings together papers emerging from the GlobE conference (University of Warsaw). The authors explore major topics in Discourse Studies, offering insights into the field’s theoretical foundations and discussing the results of its empirical applications. The book integrates different lines of research in Discourse Studies as undertaken at academic centres Europe-wide and beyond. In this diversity, the editors identify certain dominant lines of study, including (new) media discourse, political discourse in the age of social/digital media, or professional discourse in globalized workplace contexts. At the same time, the volume shows that Discourse Studies not only investigate emerging language phenomena, but also critically reassess research issues formerly addressed.
