Extract

DISCOURSE AND TECHNOLOGY: MULTIMODAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS. Philip Levine and Ron Scollon (Eds.). Washington, DC: Georgetown University Press, 2004. Pp. vii + 229. $49.95 paper.

This volume is a collection of selected papers from the 2002 Georgetown University Round Table on Languages on Linguistics (GURT). It contains 16 papers that are either loosely related to multimodal discourse analysis or address the relationship between discourse and technology, but not necessarily from the viewpoint of multimodal discourse analysis. The main strength of the volume is that it provides a rich variety of perspectives on discourse; the main weakness is that the perspectives do not seem to shed light on one single phenomenon or even a set of related phenomena, but, rather, the papers discuss various aspects of the multifaceted field of discourse studies.
