On the one hand it appears so intuitively obvious that it might appear strange to some that it warrants the attention of an entire volume, yet on the other hand it is not at all clear what it is, where it comes from, or whether or not the concept is entirely chimerical and thus a hindrance in our attempts to understand human language.

The Handbook of Discourse Analysis
We hope, through this Handbook, to offer a comprehensive sense of the scope and possibilities of discourse analysis, like the gift of multiple meanings. We know that some will see areas of meaning we have omitted, pathways we could have walked down but, due to the usual vagaries of human fallibility, we either did not pursue or were not able to realize. This is the curse of discourse: the d…
