Reviews / Votes
"This style, and the wide-ranging subject matter, should encourage both student and academic readers to follow the editors' suggestion to see the material as a stepping stone towards their own research, rather than 'the final word' (p. 5). The reference lists at the end of the chapters could be another of these stones." (Discourse Studies, 16 January 2014)More details
