Focusing on Critical Discourse Analysis, this book offers a comprehensive exploration of various concepts and their application in research. Each chapter is enriched with case studies from diverse media, including news articles, social media, memes, and institutional documents. By illustrating how to utilize analytical tools on real-life examples, it equips readers with practical skills for examining discourse in contemporary contexts.

Using a multimodal approach –graphic, vocal, written – How to do Critical Discourse Analysis guides students to an understanding of how language, power and ideology are negotiated in visual communication and media texts, from magazine and advertising, to YouTube and music videos. Authors David Machin and Andrea Mayr draw on discourse analysis, appraisal theory, stylistics and conversation analysis to present a systematic toolkit for doing language and image analysis. Using case studies and examples from a range of traditional and new media content, the book equips students with the necessary tools to analyze and understand the relationship between language, discourse and social practices.
