Paper in 'Discourse and Society'

I had already written on the pros and cons of merging Corpus Linguistics and Critical Discourse Analysis here. Some parts of that draft was also incorporated in a paper by the RASIM team for the Journal of Discourse & Society. The paper is an attempt to show how such a merger can be implemented in researching group representations -here refugees, asylum seekers and immigrants in British newspapers- and how various levels of theory, research design and analysis can take on a mixture of CDA qualitative and CL quantitative approaches.

This paper is now published in the latest volume of 'Discourse & Society' and can be downloaded through Lancaster University e-journal collection here. Please let me know if you cant access it through this service and I will be happy to send you a copy.
