Investigating Discourse and Texts: Linguistic Insights, 1st Edition by Stefania Maci, Giovanni Garofalo, and Maurizio Gotti, provides a linguistic perspective on the analysis of discourse and texts.

Students can use the material alongside assigned textbook chapters, lectures, seminars, classroom analysis, instructor materials, and independent study. Reviewing key terminology and applying analytical concepts to sample texts can strengthen linguistic observation, interpretation, and critical-thinking skills.

The resource is particularly appropriate for students studying linguistics, discourse analysis, applied linguistics, language studies, translation, communication, and related disciplines.
