Abstract:

"Analyzing the Media" provides original studies from established scholars in
the field of SFL and/or multimodality as well as from young scholars who have
already delivered remarkable contributions to the discipline. The volume
starts with an introduction to media studies from an SFL perspective. The
first chapters explore different functional approaches to analyzing
journalistic genres (e.g., reports, editorials, letters to the editor, popular
science features) with a clear emphasis on the examination of
linguistic/semiotic textures, which are studied in terms of a range of aspects
such as generic, thematic and rhetorical structures, the distribution and
function of pronouns and of and-parentheticals, engagement, projection and the
packaging of voices, modality and authorial voice, etc. Two chapters focus on
the lexico-grammatical and functional changes that affect journalistic texts
when they are translated for re-publication in a different news culture or
adapted for use in the second language classroom. Other papers discuss how the
new social media have led to new emerging linguistic practices as in internet
forums, how specific multimodal textures, such as smell, can be co-deployed
with other meaning making resources (verbal, visual, spatial) to create
specific effects for particular situations, e.g., in open-house viewing
events, and how Cultural Historical Activity Theory, an action oriented theory
that does not integrate a model of social semiosis, can be fruitfully combined
with SFL theory to explore hitherto unbeaten paths in human-computer
interaction.
