Abstract:
How have media constructions around terrorism changed since 9.11? This
book analyses the ways that language is employed in the media to reference
discourses around terrorism in different social systems and doctrines, and
illustrates the ways in which news reporting around terrorism is filtered
according to a wide range of phenomena including national interests, the
goals of those who run the press, international relations, methods of news
production, audience targeting and other historical, political and social
factors.
This book collects and analyses corpora from news articles in the two most
widely read newspapers in China and the UK. Corpus techniques including
frequency and keyness are merged with methods associated with critical
discourse analysis particularly investigation of social context. This book
shows that there is a wide range of possible discursive constructions of
terrorism in the media. Such different perspectives are likely to shape
national or even global opinion on how to tackle terrorism.
Contents:
- Discourse and Media
- Frequency analysis of Lexis in the PTC and STC
- Concordance Analysis on Words Directly Referencing Terrorism
- Contrasting the Social Contexts of China and the UK.
