Examines discourse, power and ideology, by introducing perspectives on the relationship between social structures of power and interaction. This work argues that if a clearer understanding of the relationship between language, discourse and social institutions is to be obtained, the linguistic processes must be examined closely.

Investigates the use of language in literary and non-literary texts using the principles of linguistic analysis. This work shows how linguistic knowledge can enhance and enrich the analysis of texts. Borrowing from stylistics, it focuses on recurring linguistic patterns used by writers.
