Abstract:

New Media Language brings leading media figures and scholars together
to debate the shifting relations between today's media and
contemporary language.

>>From newspapers and television to email, the internet and text
messaging, there are ever increasing media conduits for the news. This
book investigates how developments in world media have affected, and
been affected by, language. Exploring a wide range of topics, from the
globalization of communication to the vocabulary of terrorism and the
language used in the wake of September 11, New Media Language looks at
the important and wide-ranging implications of these changes. From
Malcolm Gluck on wine writing to Naomi Baron on email, the authors
provide authoritative and engaging insights into the ways in which
language is changing, and in turn, changes us.

With a foreword by Simon Jenkins, New Media Language is essential
reading for anyone with an interest in today's complex and expanding
media.

Abstract:

Fully revised and updated, the second edition of this authoritative
guide to modern English is a comprehensive, scholarly and systematic
review of modern English.  In one volume, the book presents a
description of both the linguistic structure of present-day English
and its geographical, social, gender and ethnic variations.

Covering new developments such as the impact of email on language, and
corpus-based grammars, the second edition of this accessible text has
been extensively re-written and brings the survey of modern English
right up to date. Offering new examples and suggestions for further
reading, the book is essential reading for all students of English
language and linguistics.
