Posthumanism and Deconstructing Arguments

Kieran O'Halloran's book offers a method for analysing public arguments in the field of Critical Discourse Studies. It combines computer-assisted corpus work with a posthumanist perspective, aiming to examine how arguments are constructed and questioned in public debate.

The approach is built on large collections of texts, or corpora, and on digital tools, with ethical considerations central to how the data is gathered and interpreted. The book is intended for lecturers and researchers working in critical discourse studies, critical thinking, corpus linguistics and digital humanities.
