Exploring Silence and Absence in Discourse

de Melani Schröter, Charlotte Taylor

"This volume presents a range of proposals as to how we can identify and analyse what is absent, and promotes the empirical study of absence and silence in discourse.

It will appeal to students and scholars interested in discourse analysis and critical discourse analysis"--
