ACKNOWLEDGMENT

Acknowledgement

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

First of all, we would like to extend my high gratitude to Almighty God who
has given me His endless blessing, without which I would not have been able
to complete this most remarkable work in our life, our most precious
contribution to knowledge.
It is our privilege to announce that this book is a compilation of our
teaching materials during the time we teach the subject. The need to
provide valuable resources for teaching Discourse Analysis encourages us to
compile this book.
Thanks to our university, State University of Makassar. We are glad to say
that this book is my prominent contribution to our academic life.
We would like to express our appreciation to our students who had taken
Discourse Analysis as their focus of their research. Hopefully, doing
Discourse Analysis in your research gives you all new inspiration in
developing your ideas about research. We are sure that although doing

Discourse Analysis is a rather conflicting work, it will soon become a
fantastic job when you are accustomed to it. You will enjoy it.
Thanks also to all of the students whom we teach Discourse Analysis. We
will say that you are all our inspirations to always conduct a research.
Working with you all always encourages us to do research more and more.
we do hope this e-book will become good resource for readings in Discourse
Analysis and in linguistic study as a whole.

Sincerely,

The Authors
