The Elements series presents work on theoretical and methodological advancements in critical discourse studies (CDS), along with reports on original research which has been carried out from a linguistic perspective. Individual works cluster around topics such as identities in political discourse, (social) media discourses or language, discrimination and conflict. Within these and other topics, we particularly welcome contributions which develop subject areas, e.g. looking at the discourse ‘by’ rather than ‘on’ migrants, or investigating societal conflict in discourses around climate change.
Each Element in the series will be written by a scholar with broad expertise in the field of CDS and specific expertise in the particular topic, methodology or theoretical issue addressed by the Element. Cambridge Elements in Critical Discourse Studies will be analytical and progressive, giving authors space to express their personal expert take on the current state of the art in the field. The series will combine a mixture of leading and emerging voices in the field.
