This book is the first linguistic study that combines CL and CDA to
compare the media representations of Macau's gaming industry in
English-language newspapers published in Mainland China, Hong Kong,
and Macau. An analytical framework based on the notion of the
extended units of meaning of a lexical item (Sinclair, 2004) is
adopted to examine the ideological stances regarding Macau's gaming
industry among three English-language newspapers published in the
three Chinese territories mentioned above by comparing the patterns
of co-selection of shared and unique words and phraseologies. The
book's findings confirm that the news media in these three
territories differ in their ideological stances. Moreover, the book
offers readers a fresh perspective on Macau by exploring how the
region and its gaming industry are represented in three news
article corpora. Thus, it provides unique insights into the
similarities and differences among these three territories.
Further, the research suggests that the methods adopted in this
book can be replicated to examine and compare the news and
political discourses in a variety of contexts. Accordingly, the
book represents a valuable resource not only for students majoring
in linguistics, media studies, communication, journalism, etc., but
also for researchers in the fields of corpus linguistics, critical
discourse analysis, etc.
