Well priced, and didn't take too long to arrive

This item was very well priced, and only took about a week to arrive. Very good. Thanks!

Excellent

To those who are involved in discourse studies, the book gives a comprehensive view of the different disciplines that deal with discourse, through the works of very well known authors. Readers will learn how to approach discourse by putting different theories into action. It is important to note that not only verbal language but also sounds and images have been the objects of study included in this book, since they also convey meaning.The title itself is significant. The reader feels he is being addressed by the title, that the book is meant for him, and it is! I highly recommend this book to those who have started discourse studies and to those who are already engaged in them.
