Routledge English Language Introductions: Language and Media

A Resource Book for Students

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Routledge English Language Introductions provide essential resources for students, covering core areas of language study with no prior knowledge required. Each volume offers an accessible overview, featuring activities, study questions, sample analyses, commentaries, and key readings. The innovative 'two-dimensional' structure consists of four sections—introduction, development, exploration, and extension—allowing for self-contained study stages. Readers can progress through topics across these sections to build knowledge incrementally. The exploration of language and media delves into the interaction between language and various media forms. It examines how language patterns in media discourse contribute to recognizable genres and styles, as well as the broader social implications of media language. The book includes a diverse array of real texts, such as newspaper articles on events like the Asian tsunami, speeches, blogs, emails, advertisements, and transcripts from television talk shows like Oprah. It features classic readings from influential figures in the field, including David Crystal, Norman Fairclough, David Graddol, Allan Bell, and Theo van Leeuwen. Authored by two experienced educators, this textbook serves as a vital resource for students of English language and linguistics.
