Reviews
'Analysing Real Texts is a first-class introduction to text analysis projects. It is well thought out and written in a clear, engaging style. It will be popular and useful at both undergraduate and master's level.' - Ann Hewings, Centre for Language and Communications, The Open University 'An excellent contribution to the analysis of English rooted in a remarkable variety of texts, from a range of spoken and written contexts. The tools for analysis are explained with great lucidity and the commentaries are always replicable, insightful and student-friendly. The book really shows students of the English language how that language works in the everyday commerce of language use and then guides them to do analysis and discussion for themselves. Highly recommended.' - Professor Ron Carter, School of English Studies, University of Nottingham
