This book, published by Cambridge University Press, is an exploration of how language, whether spoken or written, is used to communicate for a purpose and within a context. The authors, Gillian Brown and George Yule, offer an overview of the diverse approaches to the study of discourse, basing their approach on linguistics. The book examines how forms of language are used in communication and how context influences the interpretation of discourse. It is illustrated with examples of conversations, newspapers, and contemporary fiction, making it a valuable resource for students of linguistics and anyone interested in the use of language in natural contexts.
