Description
Taboada's book undoubtfully is a highly interesting contribution to the field of discourse analysis. Its strenght, amongst other things, follows from the innovative combination in studying genre in its oral form and, in doing so by means of a contrastive analysis between Spanish and English. I am sure that specialists in the field of genre theory will agree that her study adds quite some thought-provoking insights to the existing body of research. Indeed, the book offers a panoply of important findings which open new horizons for future research.
