Real Talk: Reality Television and Discourse Analysis in Action is
the first book to examine the discourse of reality television. It
provides state-of-the-art contextualization chapters on relevant
concepts and methods, followed by rigorous case studies of the
discourse practices that characterise a wide range of generic and
linguistic / cultural contexts, including dating shows in China and
Spain, docudramas in Argentina and New Zealand, and talent shows in
the UK and the USA. These are structured in relation to two key
themes: identity and aggression. This book will be essential
reading for upper-level undergraduates and graduates in
linguistics, discourse analysis and media studies, as well as for
practitioners in these fields.
This innovative edited collection presents new insights into
emerging debates around digital communication practices. It brings
together research by leading international experts to examine
methods and approaches, multimodality, face and identity, across
five thematically organised sections. Its contributors revise
current paradigms in view of past, present, and future research and
analyse how users deploy the wealth of multimodal resources
afforded by digital technologies to undertake tasks and to enact
identity. In its concluding section it identifies the ideologies
that underpin the construction of digital texts in the social
world. This important contribution to digital discourse studies
will have interdisciplinary appeal across the fields of
linguistics, socio-linguistics, pragmatics, discourse analysis,
gender studies, multimodality, media and communication studies.

Taking an up-to-date and truly global approach, this volume
presents a wide range of phenomena in politeness research, and
discusses key developments in the field. Covering eight major world
languages as well as several language varieties, a team of leading
scholars provide a multilingual and multicultural perspective on
various speech acts and emic conceptualisations of politeness, and
a diachronic view of the field. Most significantly, the volume
focuses on the latest trends in the field, such as metapragmatic
approaches to im/politeness, politeness and globalization,
politeness in computer mediated communication, and politeness and
prosody, spanning a wide range of methodologies and types of data,
including naturally occurring conversations, role plays, email
messages, social media, online discussion forums, ethnographic
interviews, focus groups, questionnaires, experiments and language
corpora.
