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. Since the emergence of sociolinguistics as a new
field of enquiry in the late 1960s, research into the relationship
between language and society has advanced almost beyond
recognition. In particular, the past decade has witnessed the
considerable influence of theories drawn from outside of
sociolinguistics itself. Thus rather than see language as a mere
reflection of society, recent work has been increasingly inspired
by ideas drawn from social, cultural, and political theory that
have emphasised the constitutive role played by language/discourse
in all areas of social life. "The Advances in Sociolinguistics"
series seeks to provide a snapshot of the current diversity of the
field of sociolinguistics and the blurring of the boundaries
between sociolinguistics and other domains of study concerned with
the role of language in society.
