CASLL-ers: many thanks to all of those who responded to my request for ideas about a textbook to use in an upper level discourse analysis course. Many of the suggestions were more heavily contextualized, but FYI here is a basic list: Brown and Yule's Discourse Analysis Georgia Green's Pragmatics and Natural Language Understanding? I Wood and Kroger's "doing discourse analysis" Titscher, Meyer, Wodak and Vetter,"Methods of text and discourse analysis" Gee's "an introduction to discourse analysis" Janet Giltrow's excellent article: Giltrow, J. (1998). Modernizing authority: Management studies and the grammaticalization of controlling interests. Journal of Technical Writing and Communication 28(3): 265-286. and for business students Alvesson, M. and Karreman, D. (2000). Taking the linguistic turn in organizational research. Journal of Applied Behavioral Science 36(2): 136-158. Gerard Hauser's Introduction to Rhetorical Theory (2002). Sillars and Gronbeck (2001) also have a nice overview of various types of communication criticism. Schirato and Yell (2000) do a nice job of integrating cultural aspects into communication criticism/ discourse analysis.
