These are opposites not recognisable as such out of context but that are clearly set up this way in the text concerned. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe significance of oppositional meaning is well-known, and has been discussed by scholars for millennia, from Philosophy to Politics. But the main emphasis has always been on the conventional opposite: the opposite recognised by lexical semantics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStarting from socio-cultural viewpoints, moving to original research and then concluding with a new theoretical formulation, this book introduces and consolidates a significant new approach to the analysis of oppositional meaning. It closes with a discussion of the importance of constructed opposition in hegemonic practice and makes a case for the inclusion of opposition as a central tool of critical discourse analysis. It will be essential reading for researchers and graduates in stylistics, linguistics and language studies.","brand":"Continuum","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45085599498391,"sku":"9781847065124","price":20253.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781847065124.webp?v=1767265213","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/opposition-in-discourse-the-construction-of-oppositional-meaning-9781847065124","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
