This second edition of the best-selling textbook Working with Discourse has been revised and updated throughout. The book builds an accessible set of analytic tools that can be used to explore how speakers and writers construe meaning through discourse. These techniques are introduced in clear steps, through analyses of a set of stories, arguments, reviews, and other texts that show how meanings are constructed in a culture.

Features of the new edition include:
* A new chapter on Negotiation
* Clear definitions of key terms
* Examples drawn from everyday texts
* Figures summarising key concepts
* Exercises at the end of each chapter
* Suggestions for further reading

Accessibly written and presupposing no prior knowledge of discourse or functional linguistics, this is the ideal textbook for students encountering discourse analysis for the first time at advanced undergraduate or postgraduate level.
