Dear Rachel,

Jim Gee's book An Introduction to Discourse Analysis: Theory and Method
(Routledge, 1999) might be a good text to use.

Subject: looking for textbook suggestions

Hi all:

I'm sorry to have missed the last Inkshed conference in Ontario, but am
looking forward to hosting duties here in Kamloops next year. In the
meantime, I'm wondering if anyone might point me to interesting
textbooks
which I might use for a course in discourse analysis that I will be
teaching for the first time next winter. It's an upper level course; I
wish
to have a focus on functional grammar, without completely intimidating
the
students (therefore, I will not be using Michael Halliday's Introduction
to
Functional Grammar, despite its core importance). I know some people
have
used Norman Fairclough's Language and Power with some success; I've also
considered sections of Glenn Stillar's Analyzing Everyday Texts and Jay
Lemke's Textual Politics. Any ideas?

thanks for any and all thoughts on the matter,

Rachel Nash
