Language in the Media by Sally Johnson

This book examines the ways in which the media represents language-related issues, but also how the media's use of language is central to the construction of what people think language is, could or ought to be like. The chapters examine issues of identity, gender, youth, citizenship, politics and ideology across a range of media, including television, radio, newspapers, magazines and the internet. The result is a multilingual survey of the construction of language in and by the media that will be essential reading for students and researchers of sociolinguistics or language and communication.

Sally Johnson is Emeritus Professor of Linguistics at University of Leeds, UK.

Astrid Ensslin is Professor of Media and Digital Communication at the University of Alberta, Canada.
