In case you are interested in discourse analysis in a deeper sense, the HKU Library has several books by
Lakoff, including
Metaphors we live by (George Lakoff and Mark Johnson). Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2003.
George Lakoff: Don't think of an elephant! Know your values and frame the debate: the essential guide
for progressives. White River Junction, Vt.: Chelsea Green Pub. Co., 2004.
Here's also a video: Lakoff talks at length about framing in political communication (mostly in the
American context): http://foundintranslation.berkeley.edu/?p=3714 AVAILABLE ONLINE
And here's another book-length work by him:

Chapter 3 maybe the most interesting:
http://www.cognitivepolicyworks.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/ThinkingPoints_Chapt
er3.pdf
This chapter begins,
”“Framing” is not primarily about politics or political messaging, or communication. It is
far more fundamental than that: Frames are the mental structures that allow human
beings to understand reality—and sometimes to create what we take to be reality.”

Access to books
I put the books that are available in the Library (not checked out) on reserve for our class. They are
available under the course name (JMSC6002 Critical Issues in Journalism and Global Communications)
in the AV section in the Library (1st floor).
In case you need books that are not available in the HKU Library, you may check their availability in
the online catalogues of other university libraries in Hong Kong. A reliable and fast interlibrary loan
service is available.
