Dear All,
the usual apologies for self-promotion are in order but in view of some of
the recent postings on the mailbase, you may be interested in the
following, just published:
M.Corker and S. French (eds) (1999) Disability Discourse, Buckingham: Open
University Press. Hardback: ISBN: 0-335-20223-3; Paperback: 0-335-20222-5.
This is an international edited volume containing contributions from
scholars in the UK, USA and Australia. It is focused entirely on language
and discourse studies as they relate to disability, and has a very definite
emphasis on people with sensory, intellectual, cognitive and acquired
impairments and the complexities of the social creation/construction of
disability in these areas of experience.
Further details are available on the OUP's website: http://www.openup.co.uk.
Best wishes
Mairian
