A further refreshing aspect is the variety of different contexts in which these studies are set. Inevitably, the reader is presented with diverse cultural and educational settings, finding out more about not only what role the factors of the language play with regard to linguistic features, but also considering the role of interaction with the cultural, political, sociological and historical background in the various settings. This in itself is a course in cultural sensitivity. Moreover, the studies make use of a plethora of methodologies, thereby providing examples for how to study the phenomena described in this book with inter- and multidisciplinary approaches. The chapters are organized in a way that the reader benefits from previous chapters when reading about similar methodology or findings that can be compared and built upon. Therefore, I believe that apart from being an excellent addition to the specialists' library in the various fields involved, this book would also be a great tool for courses dealing with discourse. While each chapter provides an introduction to the methodology applied in different areas of discourse studies, the topics are related enough that the students will be able to find out about the interconnectedness of the topics, while at the same time gaining a broader view of discourse across languages and cultures. In conclusion, the present book is a rich scholarly and educational source which is also very enjoyable to read.
