Language and Media by Durant Alan

Language and Media by Durant Alan

Covers core areas of English language study. This book provides an introduction to how language interacts with media. It investigates the forms of language found in media discourse; how patterns in such language use contribute to recognisable media genres and styles; and, broader social themes and consequences that arise from media language.

“Durant and Lambrou explain established key concepts as well as discuss fresh ideas; consider an impressively wide range of analytical frameworks; provide a relevant mix of traditional and new forms of media; and offer a variety of well-designed practical learning activitiesWritten in an extremely accessible style, with plenty of current examples, Language and Media is an invaluable resource for students of media discourse.” Michelle M. Lazar, National University of Singapore

"This is a very useful book on the important interplay between language and media. Its integrated and methodological approach makes the subject matter interesting and accessible to a range of students at different levels". Gerry Loftus, University of Buckingham, UK
