Abstract:

This book explores how language is used to create characters in
fictional television series. To do so, it draws on multiple case
studies from the United States and Australia. Brought together in this
book for the first time, these case studies constitute more than the
sum of their parts. They highlight different aspects of televisual
characterisation and showcase the use of different data, methods, and
approaches in its analysis. Uniquely, the book takes a mixed-method
approach and will thus not only appeal to corpus linguists but also
researchers in sociolinguistics, stylistics, and pragmatics. All
corpus linguistic techniques are clearly introduced and explained, and
the book is thus accessible to both experienced researchers as well as
novice researchers and students. It will be essential reading in
linguistics, literature, stylistics, and media/television studies.

Linguistic Field(s): Pragmatics
                     Sociolinguistics

Written In: English (eng)
