| Abstract | "This volume aims to stretch the boundaries of text and discourse linguistics, exploring organization and structuring in discourse across a variety of communication forms, from written to spoken to visual, in old and new media. Taking its cue from the diversity of interests reflected in Tuija Virtanen's extensive scholarly output, it brings together a collection of case studies ranging in focus from the micro-level discourse functions of pronouns and emojis, to the macro-level structure of online interaction. Working from varied perspectives, all of the studies draw inspiration from the notion of text as structure and process that Virtanen has developed throughout her career. In a world of proliferating media and discourse types, the papers collected here suggest future directions and possibilities for research in text and discourse studies, and the continuing potential of Virtanen's work to inform fruitful approaches. Structures in Discourse will be of interest to students and researchers in pragmatics, discourse analysis, media studies and digitally mediated communication"-- Provided by publisher. |
