Textbook Information
Five American academics examine a social linguistic/social interactional approach to discourse analysis which combines attention to how people use language and other communication systems in constructing language and literacy events in classrooms with attention to social, cultural, and political processes. Coverage includes key constructs for a microethnic approach; the use of a microethnographical approach to describe classroom literacy events as cultural action, to explore the social construction of reality, and to explore power relations; and the complexity of locating microethnographic discourse analysis within the field of literacy studies and broader intellectual movements. For scholars and students in language and literacy studies, educational researchers, sociolinguists, sociologists, and anthropologists. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
