Teun Adrianus van Dijk is a leading figure in text linguistics, discourse analysis, and Critical Discourse Analysis. Alongside Walter Kintsch, he contributed to the development of the psychology of text processing, fundamentally shaping our understanding of how humans comprehend and produce language.
The definition of ideology continues to occupy scholars across a wide range of disciplines. In this book, Teun A van Dijk sketches a challenging new multidisciplinary framework for theorizing ideology. He defines ideology as the basis of the social representations of a group, its functions in terms of social relations between groups, and its reproduction as enacted by discourse. Contemporary racist discourse is examined to illustrate these ideological relations between cognition, society and discourse.
