Synopsis

Discourse and Discrimination is a study of how racism, antisemitism and ethnicism are reflected in discourse. The authors first survey five established discourse analysis approaches before providing their own model and three case-studies. Drawing on a wide range of sources, they question why racism and anti-Semitism are still virulent worldwide.

Reisigl and Wodak (both U. of Vienna) study how racism, antisemitism, and ethnicism are reflected in discourse, focusing on Austria but providing tools that are applicable elsewhere. They survey established approaches to analyzing discourse, and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each, Then they offer their own model and use it to analyze three case studies. Annotation c.
