Style, Mediation, and Change
Style, Mediation, and Change
Sociolinguistic Perspectives on Talking Media
Contenu
Mediated talk is organised around familiar styles - styles of person, relationship and genre. But media also consistently remake and re-style these familiar patterns. This book brings together original research of media styling in different national contexts and languages. It highlights and theorises how creative acts of mediated styling can promote social and sociolinguistic change.
