Language Use in the Public Sphere

Methodological Perspectives and Empirical Applications

Herausgegeben: Olza Moreno, Inés; Loureda Lamas, Óscar; Casado, Manuel

Beschreibung

This book comprises a range of general discussions on tradition and innovation in the methodology used in discourse studies (Pragmatics, Discourse Analysis, Argumentation Theory, Rhetoric, Philosophy) and a number of empirical applications of such methodologies in the analysis of actual instances of language use in the public sphere - in particular, discourses arising in the context of the debate on the presence of religious symbols in public places.
