Abstract:

Reports on crime in newspapers do not provide a neutral representation of
criminals and their offences but instead construct them in accordance with
societal discourse surrounding this issue. This book takes an
interdisciplinary approach at the intersection of Linguistics, Criminology,
and Media Studies and demonstrates how Linguistics can contribute to the study
of crime in the media. By combining the tools offered by Corpus Linguistics
and Critical Stylistics (a text-based framework for Critical Discourse
Analysis), evidence is provided for predominant perceptions of crime and their
underlying ideologies in both British and German society. This study names and
illustrates the most significant linguistic devices used to construct
offenders, victims, and crimes in two newspaper corpora compiled from the
German and British press. These devices are then linked to criminological
frameworks.
