Reviews
The essays in this book are a user's manual; reading them I am left with a sense of awe.. <br>-Simon Jenkins, columnist for the London Times <br> What is the relationship between the media we consume and the language we use? In this book, academics and media practitioners come together to offer their views. The result is a book that is hugely diverse, always thought-provoking, and very entertaining. It functions both as an accessible introduction to the study of sociolinguistics and the media, and makes a real contribution to the field.. <br>-Caroline Bassett, University of Sussex, UK <br>
'Refreshingly, none of the contributors descends to the banal claim that 9/11 changed everything .' - Times Higher Education Supplement 'This collection of essays ... sheds light on the way language develops in all societies and times. I recommend this collection to anyone interested in the subtle links between the global economy and the intimacies of personal expression.' - Times Higher Education Supplement 'The strength and value of this volume lie in the diversity of its individual articles, written by an interesting mix of scholars and media professionals.' - Linguist List 'A comprehensive guide to media discourse ... The overview of media language that this text provides makes it useful to linguists as well as journalists and public relations professionals.' - Language
