DISCOURSE ANALYSIS
The Routledge Handbook of Discourse Analysis covers the major approaches to discourse analysis
from critical discourse analysis to multimodal discourse analysis and their applications in key
educational and institutional settings. The handbook is divided into eight sections: Approaches
to Discourse Analysis, Gender, Race and Sexualities, Narrativity and Discourse, Genre and
Register, Spoken Discourse, Social Media and Online Discourse, Educational Applications and
Institutional Applications.
The chapters are written by a wide range of contributors from around the world, each a
leading researcher in their respective field. With a focus on the application of discourse analysis
to real-life problems, the contributors introduce the reader to a topic and analyse authentic
data. This fully revised second edition includes new sections on Gender, Race and Sexualities,
Narrativity and Discourse, Genre and Register, Spoken Discourse, Social Media and Online
Discourse and nine new chapters on topics such as digital communication and public policy
and political discourse.
This volume is vital reading for all students and researchers of discourse analysis in linguistics,
applied linguistics, communication and cultural studies, social psychology and anthropology.

INTRODUCTION
James Paul Gee and Michael Handford
Discourse analysis is the study of language in use. It is the study of the meanings we give lan-
guage and the actions we carry out when we use language in specific contexts. Discourse ana-
lysis is also sometimes defined as the study of language above the level of a sentence, of the ways
sentences combine to create meaning, coherence, and accomplish purposes. However, even a
single sentence or utterance can be analyzed as a “communication” or an “action” and not just
as a sentence structure whose “literal meaning” flows from the nature of grammar. Grammar
can tell us what “I pronounce you man and wife” literally means, but not when and where it
actually means you are married.
Sometimes the term “pragmatics” is used for the study of language in use (Levinson, 1983)
and people reserve the term “discourse analysis” for studying how the sentences in an oral or
written “text” pattern together to create meaning and coherence and to define different genres
(e.g., dialogues, narratives, reports, descriptions, explanations, and so forth). In this book, the
term “discourse analysis” covers both pragmatics (the study of contextually specific meanings
of language in use) and the study of “texts” (the study of how sentences and utterances pattern
together to create meaning across multiple sentences or utterances).
We do not just mean things with language. We also do things with language. We accomplish
actions, goals, and purposes. When a minister says “I pronounce you man and wife”, he or she
is marrying two people, not just communicating to them. When a person calls the union of two
gay men a “marriage”, the speaker is helping to create or recreate the institution of marriage
in a certain way, as an institutionally sanctioned union between two committed people and not
necessarily a man and a woman. When another person refuses to use the word for the union of
two gay men, that speaker is helping to recreate or reproduce a different institution of marriage.
Linguists make an important distinction between two types of meaning, a distinction that
has relevance for discourse analysis. They distinguish between utterance-type meaning and
utterance-token meaning (Levinson, 2000). Any word, phrase, or structure has a general
range of possible meanings, what we might call its “meaning range”. This is its utterance-type
meaning. For example, the word “cat” has to do, broadly, with felines and the (syntactic) struc-
ture “subject of a sentence” has to do, broadly, with naming a “topic” in the sense of “what is
being talked about”.
However, words and phrases take on much more specific meanings in actual contexts of
use. These are utterance-token meanings or what we can also call “situated meanings” or
DOI: 10.4324/9781003035244-1 1
James Paul Gee and Michael Handford
“situational meanings”. Thus, in a situation where we say something like “The world’s big
cats are all endangered”, “cat” means things like lions and tigers; in a situation where we are
discussing mythology and say something like “The cat was a sacred symbol to the ancient
Egyptians”, “cat” means real and pictured cats as symbols; and in a situation where we are
discussing breakable decorative objects on our mantel and say something like “The cat broke”,
“cat” means a statue of a cat.
Subjects of sentences are always “topic-like” (this is their utterance-type meaning), in
different situations of use, subjects take on a range of more specific meanings. In a debate, if I say,
“The constitution only protects the rich”, the subject of the sentence (“the constitution”) is an
entity about which a claim is being made; if a friend of yours has just arrived and I usher her in,
saying “Mary’s here”, the subject of the sentence (“Mary”) is a center of interest or attention;
and in a situation where I am commiserating with a friend and say something like “You really
got cheated by that guy”, the subject of the sentence (“you”) is a center of empathy (signaled
also by the fact that the normal subject of the active version of the sentence—“That guy really
cheated you”—has been “demoted” from subject position through use of the “get-passive”).
Discourse analysis can undertake one or both of two tasks, one related to utterance-type
(general) meaning and one related to situated meaning. One task is what we can call the
utterance-type meaning task. This task involves the study of correlations between form and
function in language at the level of utterance-type meanings (general meanings). “Form” here
means things like morphemes, words, phrases, or other syntactic structures (e.g., the subject
position of a sentence). “Function” means type of meaning or the type of communicative pur-
pose a form carries out.
The other task is what we can call the utterance-token meaning or situated meaning
task. This task involves the study of correlations between form and function in language at
the level of utterance-token meanings. Essentially, this task involves discovering the situation-
specific or situated meanings of forms used in specific contexts of use.
Failing to distinguish between these two tasks can be dangerous, since very different issues of
validity for discourse analysis come up with each of these tasks, as we will see below. Let’s start
with an example of the utterance-type meaning task. Specific forms in a language are proto-
typically used as tools to carry out certain communicative functions (that is, to express certain
utterance-type meanings). For example, consider the sentence labeled (1) below (adapted from
Gagnon, 1987: 65):
1 Though the Whig and Tory parties were both narrowly confined to the privileged
classes, they represented different factions and tendencies.
This sentence is made up of two clauses, an independent (or main) clause (“they represented
different factions and tendencies”) and a dependent clause (“Though the Whig and Tory parties
were both narrowly confined to the privileged classes”). These are statements about form. An
independent clause has as one of its functions (at the utterance-type level) that it expresses an
assertion; that is, it expresses a claim that the speaker/writer is making. A dependent clause
has as one of its functions that it expresses information that is not asserted, but, rather, assumed
or taken-for-granted. These are statements about function (meaning).
Normally (that is, technically speaking, in the “unmarked” case), in English, dependent
clauses follow independent clauses. Thus, the sentence (1) above might more normally appear
as: “The Whig and Tory parties represented different factions, though they were both narrowly
confined to the privileged classes”. In (1) the dependent clause has been fronted (placed in
front of the whole sentence). This is a statement about form. Such fronting has as one of its
2
Introduction
functions that the information in the clause is thematized (Halliday, 1994), that is, the infor-
mation is treated as a launching off point or thematically important context from which to
consider the claim in the following dependent clause. This is a statement about function.
To sum up, in respect to form-functioning mapping at the utterance-type level, we can say
that sentence (1) renders its dependent clause (“Though the Whig and Tory parties were both
narrowly confined to the privileged classes”) a taken-for-g ranted, assumed, unargued for (i.e.,
unasserted), though important (thematized) context from which to consider the main claim in
the independent clause (“they represented different factions and tendencies”). The dependent
clause is, we might say, a concession. Other historians might prefer to make this concession the
main asserted point and, thus, would use a different grammatical construction, perhaps saying
something like: “Though they represented different factions and tendencies, the Whig and
Tory parties were both narrowly confined to the privileged classes”.
At a fundamental level, all types of discourse analysis involve claims (however tacitly they
may be acknowledged) about form-function matching at the utterance-type level. This is
so because, if one is making claims about a piece of language, even at a much more situated
and contextualized level (which we will see in a moment), but these claims violate what we
know about how form and function are related to each other in language at the utterance-
type level, then these claims are quite suspect, unless there is evidence the speaker or writer
is trying to violate these sorts of basic grammatical relationships in the language (e.g., in
poetry).
As we have already said, the meanings with which forms are correlated at the utterance-type
level are rather general (meanings like “assertion”, “taken-for-g ranted information”, “con-
trast”, etc.). In reality, they represent only the meaning potential or meaning range of a form or
structure, as we have said. The more specific or situated meanings that a form carries in a given
context of use must be figured out by an engagement with our next task, the utterance-token
or situated meaning task.
A second task that discourse analysis can undertake is what we called above the utterance-
token or situated meaning task. When we actually utter or write a sentence it has a situated
meaning (Gee, 1990, 2010, 2012). Situated meanings arise because particular language forms
take on specific or situated meanings in specific different contexts of use.
Consider the word “coffee” as a very simple example of how situated meaning differs from
utterance-type meaning. “Coffee” is an arbitrary form (other languages use different sounding
words for coffee) that correlates with meanings having to do with the substance coffee (this is
its meaning potential). At a more specific level, however, we have to use context to determine
what the word means in any situated way. In one context, “coffee” may mean a brown liquid
(“The coffee spilled, go get a mop”); in another one it may mean grains of a certain sort (“The
coffee spilled, go get a broom”); in another it may mean containers (“The coffee spilled, stack
it again”); and it can mean other things in other contexts, e.g., berries of a certain sort, a certain
flavor, or a skin color. We can even use the word with a novel situated meaning, as in “You give
me a coffee high” or “Big Coffee is as bad as Big Oil as corporate actors”.
To see a further example of situated meanings at work, consider sentence (1) again
(“Though the Whig and Tory parties were both narrowly confined to the privileged classes,
they represented different factions”). We said above that an independent clause represents
an assertion (a claim that something is true). But this general form-function correlation can
mean different specific things in actual contexts of use, and can, indeed, even be mitigated or
undercut altogether.
For example, in one context, say between two like-minded historians, the claim that the
Whig and Tory parties represented different factions may just be taken as a reminder of a
3

“fact” they both agree on. On the other hand, between two quite diverse historians, the same
claim may be taken as a challenge (despite YOUR claim that shared class interests meant no
real difference in political parties, the Whig and Tory parties in 17th-century England were
really different). And, of course, on stage as part of a drama, the claim about the Whig and Tory
parties is not even a “real” assertion, but a “pretend” one.
Furthermore, the words “privileged”, “contending”, and “factions” will take on different
specific meanings in different contexts. For example, in one context, “privileged” might
mean “rich”, while in another context it might mean “educated” or “cultured” or “politic-
ally connected” or “born into a family with high status” or some combination of the above or
something else altogether.
To analyze Gagnon’s sentence or his whole text, or any part of it, at the level of situated
meanings—that is, in order to carry out the situated meaning task—would require a close study
of some of the relevant contexts within which that text is placed and which it, in turn, helps
to create. This might mean inspecting the parts of Gagnon’s text that precede or follow a part
of the text we want to analyze. It might mean inspecting other texts related to Gagnon’s. It
might mean studying debates among different types of historians and debates about educational
standards and policy (since Gagnon’s text was meant to argue for a view about what history
ought to be taught in schools). It might mean studying these debates historically across time and
in terms of the actual situations Gagnon and his text were caught up in (e.g., debates about new
school history standards in Massachusetts, a state where Gagnon once helped write a version of
the standards). It might mean many other things, as well. Obviously, there is no space in a paper
of this scope to develop such an analysis here.
The issue of validity for analyses of situated meaning is quite different than the issue of val-
idity for analyses of utterance-type meanings. We saw above that the issue of validity for ana-
lyses of utterance-type meanings basically comes down to choosing and defending a particular
grammatical theory of how form and function relate in language at the level of utterance-type
meanings, as well as, of course, offering correct grammatical and semantic descriptions of one’s
data. On the other hand, the issue of validity for analyses of situated meaning is much harder.
In fact, it involves a very deep problem known as “the frame problem” (Gee, 2010).
The frame problem is this: any aspect of context can affect the meaning of an (oral or
written) utterance. Context, however, is indefinitely large, ranging from local matters like the
positioning of bodies and eye gaze, through people’s beliefs, to historical, institutional, and cul-
tural settings. No matter how much of the context we have considered in offering an interpret-
ation of an utterance, there is always the possibility of considering other and additional aspects
of the context, and these new considerations may change how we interpret the utterance.
Where do we cut off consideration of context? How can we be sure any interpretation is
“right”, if considering further aspects of the context might well change that interpretation?
Let us give an example of a case where changing how much of the context of an utterance
we consider changes significantly the interpretation we give to that utterance. Take a claim
like: “Many children die in Africa before they are five years old because they get infectious
diseases like malaria”. What is the appropriate amount of context within which to assess this
claim? We could consider just medical facts, a narrow context. And in the context the claim
seems unexceptional. But widen the context and consider the context described below:
Malaria, an infectious disease, is one of the most severe public health problems world-
wide. It is a leading cause of death and disease in many developing countries, where
young children and pregnant women are the groups most affected. Worldwide, one
death in three is from an infectious or communicable disease. However, almost all
4
Introduction
these deaths occur in the non-industrialized world. Health inequality affects not just
how people live, but often dictates how and at what age they die. [see: www.cdc.gov/
malar ia/impact/index.htm and ucatlas.ucsc.edu/cause.php].
This context would seem to say that so many children in Africa die early not because of infec-
tious diseases but because of poverty and economic underdevelopment. While this widening
of the context does not necessarily render the claim “Many children die in Africa before they
are five years old because they get infectious diseases like malaria” false, it, at least, suggests that
a narrow construal of “because” here (limiting it to physical and medical causes) effaces the
workings of poverty and economics.
The frame problem is both a problem and a tool. It is a problem because our discourse ana-
lytic interpretations (just like people’s everyday interpretations of language) are always vulner-
able to changing as we widen the context within which we interpret a piece of language. It is
a tool because we can use it—widening the context—to see what information and values are
being left unsaid or effaced in a piece of language.
The frame problem, of course, raises problems about validity for discourse analysis. We
cannot really argue an analysis is valid unless we keep widening the context in which we con-
sider a piece of language until the widening appears to make no difference to our interpret-
ation. At that point, we can stop and make our claims (open, of course, to later falsification as
in all empirical inquiry).
It should be clear now that discourse analysis involves studying language in the context of
society, culture, history, institutions, identity formation, politics, power, and all the other things
that language helps us to create and which, in turn, render language meaningful in certain
ways and able to accomplish certain purposes. As such, discourse analysis is both a branch of
linguistics and a contribution to the social sciences. Because of its relevance to so many social
and cultural issues, discourse analysis of one form or another is used in a great many disciplines,
for example, history, anthropology, psychiatry, sociology, political science, education, and many
others.
There are many different types of discourse analysis. Some forms are closely tied to lin-
guistics and tie their claims closely to facts about grammar and the way different grammatical
structures function in different contexts of use. Other forms are less closely tied to linguistics or
grammar and focus on the development of themes or images across the sentences or utterances
in an oral or written text. Some forms of discourse analysis are primarily interested in descrip-
tion and explanation. Others are interested, as well, in tying language to politically, socially, or
culturally contentious issues and intervening in these issues in some way. These latter forms of
discourse analysis are often called “critical discourse analysis” (Fairclough, 2003).
People do not make meaning just as individuals. They do so as parts of social groups who
agree on, contest, or negotiate norms and values about how language ought to be used and
what things ought to mean. Many forms of discourse analysis are, thus, connected to views
about and studies of different types of social groups. These groups are called by different names
depending on the aspects of social activity that the discourse analyst wants to stress: discourse
communities, speech communities, communities of practice, activity systems, Discourses (“big
D Discourses”), networks, and cultures. Whatever term is used, discourse analysis is always at
heart simultaneously an analysis of language and of practices in society (Gee, 2012).
When we use language to communicate we must signal to our listeners who we are (in the
sense of what socially meaningful identity or role we are speaking out of) and what we are doing
(what action or activity we are attempting to carry out). We do not do this with language alone.
If you want to get recognized in a given context as a “Native American”, a “good student”,

Introduction
As with all such categorizations, other groupings are possible, and certain chapters may seem
more prototypical of the category than others. Moreover, some chapters may easily fit in two
or three categories simultaneously, for instance, Vijay Bhatia’s chapter on professional genres is
in the Genre and register section, but would be equally comfortable in the Institutional applications
section, whereas Mats Ekström’s new chapter on new media in Institutional applications could
have appeared in Genre and register. Therefore we suggest the reader use the categorizations
merely as a guide; also, each author suggests recommended chapters and areas at the end of the
chapter, which the reader is encouraged to explore.
In designing this Handbook, we intended it to be accessible and relevant for the widest pos-
sible audience. Discourse analysis is indeed an interdisciplinary approach, and this book should
allow readers from various academic backgrounds and disciplines to understand how discourse
analysis is done, and why it might be relevant to them. With this in mind, the chapters typically
contain expository analysis of real data. Readers should be able to see how the tools of discourse
analysis are used, and on what types of data. A quick glance through the list of authors will
show that the Handbook contains many of the leading figures in their fields, who continue to
produce groundbreaking work. Such researchers have been encouraged to give a more personal
account of their research and their motivations than is typical in publications of this sort, and to
place their research in the academic wider context.
In these ways, we hope once again to have assembled a collection that, in the words of one
contributor, not only defines the field but also drives it forward.

Literary discourse
Rather than reinventing the wheel and give a list of reading items, I will refer the reader who wants to explore
this area to four volumes.
Carter, Ronald and Stockwell, Peter (eds.) (2008) The Language and Literature Reader. London: Routledge.
This volume contains 28 chapters and is organised around three main periods. The section entitled
Foundations presents work from the 1960s and 1970s, including chapters that employ grammatical analysis
of literary texts (and includes the Halliday (1971) study mentioned above). Developments covers work in the
1980s and 1990s (Nash’s study on Hamlet is included). New Directions showcases more recent work,
including work in cognitive and corpus stylistics. It also contains a reprinted version of Gavins (2003) and
Semino (2002).
Lambrou, Marina and Stockwell, Peter (eds.) (2008) Contemporary Stylistics. London: Continuum.
This volume of 20 chapters is organised around the three main literary genres of prose, poetry and drama
and provides a very wide range of approaches to literary texts. It includes the chapter on schema poetics by
Walsh mentioned above.
Stockwell, Peter and Whitely, Sara (eds.) (2014) The Cambridge Handbook of Stylistics. Cambridge:
Cambridge University Press.
This volume contains 39 chapters and is divided into five parts which deal with the discipline, concepts,
techniques and experience of stylistics; the last part extends stylistics to beyond the literary domain.
Burke, Michael (ed.) (2017) The Routledge Handbook of Stylistics. London: Routledge.
This is another large volume, consisting of 32 chapters and divided into four parts. The third section is the
largest one and demonstrates the different methods employed in contemporary stylistics. The earlier parts
deal with the history and issues within stylistics, and the final part looks at some ‘trending’ approaches.

Emergent Grammar
Ford, Cecilia E . and Fox, Barbara A . (2015) ‘Ephemeral grammar: at the far end of emergence’, in Arnulf
Deppermann and Susanne Günthner (eds.) Temporality in Interaction. Amsterdam: John Benjamins, pp.
95–120.
Ford and Fox here move the notion of Emergent Grammar further to a concept of ‘ephemeral grammar’.
“The close analysis of an extended turn at talk compels us to consider provisional and emergent form as
possible without movement toward sedimentation beyond the local context”. The authors argue for a radical
extension of Emergent Grammar, examining small-scale, local regularities over a short duration within a
single turn at talk.

Taleghani-Nikazm , Emma Betz and Peter Golato (eds.) Mobilizing Others: Grammar and Lexis within Larger
Activities. Amsterdam: John Benjamins, pp. 147–173.
Keevallik uses video recordings to track the synchronization between body movements and language. She
argues that “grammatical structure emerges through recurrent use in a specific activity context”. Important for
the study of the emergent integration of the forms of spoken language with a temporal activity and for its
skilled exemplification of the use of film in linguistic analysis. The language of the data is Estonian.
Mushin, Ilana and Pekarek Doehler, Simona (2021) ‘Linguistic structures in social interaction: moving
temporality to the forefront of a science of language’, Interactional Linguistics, 1 (1): 2–32.
A richly exemplified introduction to the history, theory, and methodology of interactional linguistics, including
detailed discussions of temporality and Emergent Grammar. The language data presented include examples
from French and the Native Australian language Garrwa. The article opens the first issue of a new journal
devoted to interactional linguistics, edited by the two authors.
