Abstract:

For many people, newspapers are a key source of information on many topics,
including issues related to gender and sexuality. Applying a broad range of
corpus linguistic methods, <i>Transgender Identities in the Press</i>
critically explores the linguistic cues and patterns used by the print media
in their representation of trans people.<p>
Through close analysis of a corpus of articles collected from English-language
newspapers from the UK and Canada, Angela Zottola focuses on the semantic
categories of representation associated with transgender identities. Exploring
a set of key terms, this book examines the semantic prosody and the language
choices that each term is invested with, using Critical Discourse Analysis to
investigate how the way the press represents this topic influences readers and
their understanding of the major debates.<p>
Using a mixture of quantitative and qualitative methods, <i>Transgender
Identities in the Press</i> casts light on the complex picture of press
language during a period of social change and increasing awareness.
Highlighting both efforts to represent this community in an inclusive and
non-discriminatory way and areas where there is need for improvement, this
book illustrates a variety of issues from a critical and social perspective.
