Method of Critical Discourse Analysis. Second Edition. Edited by Ruth Wodak and Michael Meyer, 2009. Sage Publication

Discourse is defined by what it is not, what is set in opposition to. Discourse is often considered to be different from text, sentence and ideology (Mills 2004 p. 3). Discourse can be approached by various frameworks. To this relation, Schiffrin (1994), among others, has discussed the various frameworks, concepts, and methods available for the analysis of discourse available within linguistics.
