基本説明
Exploring a neglected aspect of discourse studies this volume looks at how people are 'discursively constructed' as deficient in ways that may affect their life chances. In this context, a 'defict' would mean any kind of linguistic disadvantage or lack which affects the individual(s) and their situation.
Full Description
Key practitioners and researchers explore how people routinely and at particular sites are discursively constructed as deficient in ways that may affect their life chances. The book offers examples of how adopting multiple perspectives on research can provide a rich explanatory analysis of the construct of 'deficit' in a range of domains.
