Historical Discourse: The Language of Time, Cause and Evaluation: Continuum Discourse
Autor Dr Caroline Coffinen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2008
Historical Discourse analyses the importance of the language of time, cause and evaluation in both texts which students at secondary school are required to read, and their own writing for assessment. In contrast to studies which have denied that history has a specialised language, Caroline Coffin demonstrates through a detailed study of historical texts, that writing about the past requires different genres, lexical and grammatical structures. In this analysis, language emerges as a powerful tool for making meaning in historical writing.
Presupposing no prior knowledge of systemic functional linguistics, this insightful book will be of interest to researchers in applied linguistics and discourse analysis, as well as history educators.

Recenzii
"Coffin's volume is a worthy addition to the Continuum Discourse series, seeking, as it does, to explore the nature of historical discourse, its purposes, its distinctive features and its pleasures."
"Coffin's functional linguistics perspective provides a rigorous and comprehensive analysis of the texts of secondary school history, both those that students read and those they need to learn to write. This is an original and welcome contribution to debates about how to develop students' historical understanding"
"This book makes a major contribution to the study of historical discourse and while it will be of interest to teachers of history, it will in addition be of considerable interest to those who work in discourse studies generally- linguists, applied linguists and educational linguists."
'Coffin's Historical Discourse provides a systematic, informative and insightful description of the nature of historical discourse, it's function and role, and of its pedagogic potential in the context of secondary schools ... Historical Discourse is an exceptionally well-written book that expounds on the role of language in learnning and teaching history. It offers a systematic and comprehensive account of a rich array of language resources that are critical to success in history and provides valuable insights into the nature of, and the teaching and learning of historical discourse'
'Coffin's book ... discusses a host of fascinating language issues ... that have important ramifications for the analysis of academic language and discourse iteself, particularly when viewed in terms of the requirements of historical education and as a basis for literacy educational practice ... Coffin's book successfully shows the importance of collaboration between educational linguists, literacy consultants and history teachers. Language emerges as a powerful tool for making meaning in historical writing, as well as a key element in the teaching-learning cycle ... Its appeal is wide: it will be of interest to history educators and educational linguists, as well as researchers in applied linguistics and discourse analysis in general'
"This work succeeds in communicating the inherent complexity of historical texts and in analyzing and labeling features that render them complex...However, Coffin does not address the difficulties of reading and writing about history within a culture that approaches the past warily and requires that historical accounts evince relevance to the present." - Margaret Thomas, Studies in Second Language Acquisition, September 2008
"It is..a timely and illuminating set of analytical tools for the critical examination of the various competing accounts of history.Historical Discourse therefore provides a crucial link between pedagogic practices and the reproduction of power relations through a close examination of the curriculum as a significant site of struggle in terms of national history. More importantly, it provides students and analysts alike with the means to reflect on the syllabus critically. Discourse and Society
