Introduces an edited Vol of 11 Chpts (each abstracted) that applies critical discourse analysis to texts & speech that marginalize minority groups in terms of language-power-privilege relations. This method assumes that discourses of identity are likely to be univocal & monologic. Majority groups use discourses of identity to marginalize minority groups through the selection of lexical strategies that seek to construct hierarchies, subordinations, & dominance in such a way as to disguise & mitigate the speaker's or writer's intent. Thus, unlike content analysis, critical discourse analysis is concerned with the implied messages that underlie communication. The terms Other & Otherness are discussed in terms of internality & externality & discourses of inclusion & exclusion. Among the speeches & texts analyzed are Western parliamentary speeches, newspaper articles of British journalists, 19th-century travel writing, & working-class women's autobiographies. 82 References.
