AILA Research Network: Media Linguistics
AILA Research Network: Media Linguistics
The research network links applied linguists who address crucial aspects of text production (written, oral and online) in the domain of public discourse in general and news media in particular.
The aim of the newly emerging field of media linguistics is to investigate the highly complex and dynamic interplay of language use in public spheres, newsrooms, and news source domains such as business or politics. Appropriate inter- and transdisciplinary theories, methodologies, and solutions to practical problems in this emerging field of applied linguistics will be developed. It is suggested that media linguistics (in particular knowledge about news production processes) can significantly improve our understanding of language dynamics in an increasingly mediatized world.
