Ego is the Enemy
This is not a book about me. But since this is a book about ego, I’m going to address a question that I’d be a hypocrite not to have thought about. Who the hell am I to write it?

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…

We will see that there are important differences between the usual written system of English and how the system of sounds is structured – so many differences, in fact, that the familiar written system of English could never be used as a transcription of either the structure that lies behind spe…

We have given in boldface (for example register) key concepts in sociolinguistics that readers should remember. L…
