Introduces the notion of pretext as an additional factor in the general interpretative process
Focuses attention specifically on the work of critical discourse analysis (CDA) in light of the issues discussed

Store Description

Shadow Books sells all manner of second-hand, out of print and rare books; but not popular paperback fiction.

We pride ourselves on setting our prices - quality for quality - at the low end of the range, on the scrupulous way we describe our books, on the rapidity with which we dispatch orders, and on our prompt and friendly response to customers and their queries.
