This book is the first longitudinal study of the language
surrounding rape in the British press. Through a diachronic
analysis informed by corpus linguistics and feminist theory,
Tranchese examines how rape discourse has (or has not) changed over
the past decade. With its detailed investigation of media
representations, the book explores how age-old rape myths re-emerge
with new forms in news narratives. Against the backdrop of twelve
years of newspaper coverage of rape, including many high-profile
cases, this study also traces the rise of "celebrity culture", the
emergence of #metoo, and the subsequent aggressive reaction against
it. The author places these historical events and recent trends
within broader debates on feminism, and the role of (social) media
in the backlash against it. This book provides a much-needed
linguistic analysis which will be of particular interest to
scholars and students of feminist studies, language and gender,
corpus-assisted discourse studies, and gendered crime.
