Working with Written Discourse

Working with Written Discourse in three words: erudite, elegant, engaging. Grounded in an extensive, up-to-date literature, Cameron and Panovic provide here a beautifully and sensibly organized introduction to the field. With constant opportunities for further reflection and discussion, the book is also chock-a-block with contemporary examples and fresh ideas for hands-on practice. I would no, I will  use this book as a core text in my graduate seminars as readily as I will my undergraduate courses. Cameron s Working with Spoken Discourse has been a key text in my classes for over a decade; my only (quite unreasonable) gripe being that it didn t offer me enough on things like new media discourse and multimodal discourse. Well, here we have it: a perfect complement.  And much more besides. Professor Crispin Thurlow
