Representing Reality

`Since the publication of Potter & Wetherell's influential Discourse and Social Psychology which laid the ground-plan for their version of discourse analysis work has continued apace... As a progress report the present text provides a valuable up-date summarizing the main lines of development and usefully pulling together material heretofore only available from a disparate range of sources... As an introduction to this type of analysis this is an admirable book which can be recommended to students with confidence and is likely also to become an indispensable source of reference for those researching fact construction' - Discourse & Society
