Society and Discourse: How Social Contexts Influence Text and Talk by Teun A. va

Description: Society and Discourse by Teun A. van Dijk Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book presents a theory of context that explains how text and talk are adapted to their social environment. In this interdisciplinary book the theory is developed from a linguistic and psychological perspective and is applied to the domain of politics, including the debate about the war in Iraq. Publisher Description After his earlier book Discourse and Context, also published by Cambridge University Press, Teun A. van Dijk in this study presents the second part of his multidisciplinary theory of context. The main thesis of this theory is that the influence of society on discourse is not direct, as is postulated for instance in sociolinguistics, but cognitively mediated by subjective mental models of the communicative situation: context models. These dynamic models control discourse production and comprehension and define the pragmatic appropriateness of text and talk. Whereas in Discourse and Context the psychological and linguistic aspects of context were analyzed, this book focuses on the social psychological, sociological, anthropological and political aspects of context. Tony Blairs 2003 speech defending his motion to go to war against Saddam Hussein and the following debate in parliament is used as an example illustrating the new theory.
