Call for Papers:

The general objective of this special issue is to explore the extent
to which Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies (CADS) and corpus-driven
methodologies can be instrumental in facilitating an in-depth
examination of the discursive framing of social phenomena within the
contexts of mass and social media in English.
Description:
Over the past three decades, Corpus Linguistics has emerged as a
significant paradigm in language studies. The interdisciplinary nature
of this framework allows it to effectively underpin research across a
wide array of linguistic domains including, but not limited to,
lexicography (McEnery et al. 2006), translation studies (Bolaños
2007), literary analysis (Bianchi 2018), and language pedagogy (Lee &
Lin 2019).
Simultaneously, the nature of our contemporary society, marked by
rapid transformations and hyper-connectivity, sees an incessant and
widespread dissemination of diverse information through the media and
social networks, profoundly shaping our quotidian existence.
Historically, social phenomena have been subjected to scholarly
investigation from a multitude of disciplines, including linguistics.
The predominant linguistic subfield that has consistently focused on
such matters is Critical Discourse Analysis, which predominantly
employs a qualitative approach (Hart 2017, Sengul 2019, Lomotey &
Chachu 2020).
This special issue, however, seeks to emphasize the utility of a
corpus-based methodology, situated within a quantitative framework,
specifically in the realms of mass and social media (Salahshour 2016,
Baker & McEnery 2015). Indeed, when it comes to studying social
phenomena, corpora serve as critical instruments for discerning the
ways in which language mirrors, informs, and shapes various aspects of
society, consequently providing insights into the symbiotic
relationship between language and social phenomena.
We are inviting original contributions that delve into the discourse
of mass and social media, leveraging a representative corpus of
English language and rigorous quantitative analysis, either from a
synchronic or diachronic standpoint. The topics include but are not
limited to the representation of:
- Women in the media or social media
- LGBTQ+ community in the media or social media
- Migration in the media or social media
- Environmental issues in the media or social media
- Politics in the media or social media
Each submission should ideally aim to illuminate the ways in which
language in mass and social media constructs, deconstructs, or
reconstructs the aforementioned societal phenomena and more.
Important deadlines:
•       Submission of proposals (October 15, 2023): approx. 250-300
words. Please email your proposals to gema.alcaraz at uclm.es and
