Following Ingrid’s post on book reviewing, I’d like to introduce myself (Monika Bednarek), as the new book review editor of Discourse and Communication (http://dcm.sagepub.com/). Like Ingrid, I’m also on the lookout for reviewers and entirely agree with her on the importance and advantages of doing book reviews. The guidelines for reviews in Discourse and Communication are similar to those for Discourse and Society, but please get in touch if you have any questions. Here is a selection of books available for review in Discourse and Communication. Email me (mb399ATyahoo.co.uk) if you’re interested in reviewing any of these:

Bazzi, S. 2009. Arab News and Conflict. A Multidisciplinary Discourse Study. John Benjamins.

Cummings, L. 2009. The Pragmatics Encyclopedia. Routledge.

Johnson, S. And Milani, T.M. eds 2009. Language Ideologies and Media Discourse. Continuum.
