In this class, we will look at different kinds of media discourse such as interviews, talk shows, and sports commentary. They will be analysed with the help of key linguistic concepts from conversation analysis, pragmatics, interactional sociolinguistics and discourse analysis. Issues studied include e.g. media discourse as institutional talk, the relationship between broadcasters and their audiences, and the representation of women and men in the media. Students will present their own project in class and write a paper of about 12 -15 pages. |
