"It is an extremely well-edited and well-balanced book
with high quality contributions from the various authors. As such,
it is well placed to achieve its aim of enhancing the impact of CA
as a discipline by expanding into developmental and applied areas
of research." (Discourse Studies, 2012)

"With lengthy chapters and quality evaluations, this is a
thought-provoking book but one not for the faint hearted! It is
aimed at academics and students who want up-to-date information."
