文档介绍：School Discourse
Continuum Discourse Series
Series Editor: Professor Ken Hyland, Director of the Centre for Applied
English Studies, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
Discourse is one of the most signifi cant concepts of contemporary
thinking in the humanities and social sciences as it concerns the ways
language mediates and shapes our interactions with each other and
with the social, political and cultural formations of our society. The
Continuum Discourse Series aims to capture the fast-developing
interest in discourse to provide students, new and experienced teachers
and researchers in applied linguistics, ELT and English language with an
essential bookshelf. Each book deals with a core topic in discourse studies
to give an in-depth, structured and readable introduction to an aspect of
the way language is used in real life.
