Because I have used relatively few references for the academic foundations of my work, I have also included a bibliography to show the depth and breadth of my reading.

It is unusual that I found nearly all the theoretical material that I needed about discourse in one collection, Methods of Critical Discourse Analysis - perhaps this was an extraordinarily good collection of papers, or perhaps I have used it well ! My source on Text Analysis - Advances in Written Text Analysis -was similarly excellent.
