Summary

Can discourse analysis techniques adequately deal with complex social phenomena? What does " interdisciplinarity" mean for theory building and the practice of empirical research? This original volume debates critical theory and discourse analysis, focusing on the extent to which CDA can draw on a range of disciplines in the social sciences.
