This is followed by chapters dealing with new ways of looking at grammar, vocabulary and phonology in the light of discourse analysis. The final section of the book concentrates on spoken and written language with examples from a native-speaker and learner data. It also considers some teaching approaches based on the insights of discourse analysis.
