This text offers an innovative approach to understanding communication and its barriers in a variety of institutional contexts, such as the outpatient clinic, the courtroom or the school. The theory which the book presents is called "discourse sociolinguistics" by the author; it is not only explicitly dedicated to the study of text in context, but also places equal emphasis and importance on both factors.

Disorders of Discourse offers an innovative approach to understanding communication and its barriers, in a variety of institutional contexts such as the outpatient clinic, the courtroom or the school. The study presents a new theory which Ruth Wodak terms 'discourse sociolinguistics' which is not only explicitly dedicated to the study of text in context, but places equal emphasis and importance on both factors.
Ruth Wodak's approach identifies and describes the underlying mechanisms which help to construct speech barriers. Often embedded in a certain context - in the structure and function of the media, or in institutions such as a hospital or government ministry - these barriers inevitably affect communication. They depend on gaps between distinct cognitive worlds, the gulfs that separate outsiders from insiders, members of institutions from clients, and they are traceable not only to the use of unfamiliar professional or technical jargon but also to the immanent structure of the various discourses themselves. The result is 'frame conflict' in which worlds of knowledge and interest collide with one another. Those who possess linguistic as well as institutional power invariably prevail.
"xxx;an extremely valuable piece of work for any student scholar and researcher interested in the huge fields of discourse analysis and critical discourse analysis."
