Abstract
This chapter introduces several key concepts related to concordance line analysis and explores how they can be used to study representation. It begins by introducing the concept of a concordance line and, supported by worked examples and case studies, it discusses how concordance lines are a useful window onto the wider social context. The chapter then offers a step-by-step guide to getting started with a concordance analysis and offers two activities for readers to try themselves. The chapter finishes by reflecting on good practice, potential pitfalls and ongoing areas of academic debate.
