Résumé

The INTERTEXT series has been specifically designed to meet the needs of contemporary English Language Studies. Working with Texts: A Core Introduction to Language Analysis (second edition, 2001) is the foundation text, which is complemented by a range of 'satellite' titles. These provide students with hands-on practical experience of textual analysis through special topics, and can be used individually or in conjunction with Working with Texts.

The Language of Science:

explores the goals of, and problems with, scientific discourse
demonstrates the power and misuse of scientific discourse in the media
examines the special qualities of scientific communication and rhetoric
explores how science and popular culture interact
is illustrated with a wide range of examples from the discourses of the AIDS epidemic to depression to global warming
includes ideas for student enquiry projects and a glossary
