Abstract:

This volume presents an in-depth analysis of language variation in Jamaican
radio newscasts and talk shows. It explores the interaction of global and
local varieties of English with regard to newscasters’ and talk show hosts’
language use and listeners’ attitudes. The book illustrates the benefits of an
integrated approach to mass media: the analysis takes into account radio talk
and the perception of the audience, it is context-sensitive, paying close
attention to variation within and between genres, and it combines quantitative
and qualitative approaches to demonstrate the complexity of language in the
media. The book contributes to our understanding of the dynamics of World
Englishes in the 21st century and endonormative stabilization processes in
linguistically heterogeneous postcolonial speech communities, and shows how
mass media both challenge and reproduce sociolinguistic stratification. This
volume will be relevant for researchers interested in the fields of
sociolinguistics, language attitudes, and language in the media.
