Download or read book Evaluation in Media Discourse written by Monika Bednarek and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-11-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evaluation is the linguistic expression of speaker/writer opinion, and has only recently become the focus of linguistic analysis. This book presents the first corpus-based account of evaluation; one hundred newspaper articles collated to form a 70,000 word comparable corpus, drawn from both tabloid and broadsheet media. The book provides detailed explanations and justifications of the underlying framework of evaluation, as well as demonstrating how this is part of the larger framework of media discourse. Unlike many other linguistic analyses of media language, it makes frequent reference to the production circumstances of newspaper discourse, in particular the so-called 'news values' that shape the creation of the news. Cutting-edge and insightful, Evaluation in Media Discourse will be of interest to academics and researchers in corpus linguistics and media discourse.

Download or read book Media Agenda-Setting and Framing in the Second Gulf War written by Dorra Maalej and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-10-24 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will appeal to media and communication and public opinion researchers. It is a corpus-based study of the agenda-setting and framing effects of the print media on public opinion, and examines US and UK newspapers’ use of reporting strategies to shape their readers’ attitude towards the Second Gulf War. These strategies consist of four analytic tools, namely discourse presentation categories, discourse presentation sub-categories, subjectivity markers and reporting signals (mainly verbs). This investigation reveals that the choice of reporting strategies is not only ideologically-driven, but is also highly determined by other parameters such as country, style, and genre.

Download or read book Filipino English and Taglish written by Roger M. Thompson and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English competes with Tagalog and Taglish, a mixture of English and Tagalog, for the affections of Filipinos. To understand the competing ideologies that underlie this switching between languages, this book looks at the language situation from multiple perspectives. Part A reviews the social and political forces that have propelled English through its life cycle in the Philippines from the 1898 arrival of Admiral Dewey to the 1998 election of Joseph Estrada. Part B looks at the social support for English in Metro Manila and the provinces with a focus on English teachers and their personal and public use of English. Part C examines the language of television sport broadcasts, commercials, interviews, sitcoms, and movies, and the language of newspapers from various linguistic, sociolinguistic, and sociocultural perspectives. The results put into perspective the short-lived language revolution that took place at the turn of the twenty-first century.
