The INTERTEXT series has been specifically designed to meet the needs of
contemporary English Language Studies. Working with Texts: A core
introduction to language analysis (third edition, 2007) is the
foundation text which is complemented by a range of 'satellite' titles.
These provide students with hands-on practical experience of textual
analysis through special topics, and can be used individually or in
conjunction with Working with Texts.
This accessible textbook in the Routledge Intertext series offers
students hands-on practical experience of textual analysis focused on
language and technology. Written in a clear, user-friendly style, it
combines practical activities with texts, accompanied by commentaries
and suggestions for further study.
Aimed at A-Level and beginning undergraduate students, Language and
Technology:
- explores the history of new communication tools such as texting;
Facebook and online forums
- examines the public discourses about these new tools
- incorporates real texts such as adverts, newspaper articles and chat
room data
- includes a comprehensive glossary of terms.
