CALL FOR PAPERS: LINGUISTICS AND MEDIA DISCOURSE
Revista Alicantina de Estudios Ingleses (RAEI) is an international well-known Journal on English Studies published annually since 1988 by the University of Alicante (Spain). The abstracts of all the articles published so far can be accessed at the following Internet address:
http://www.ua.es/dfing/publicaciones/raei/indice-raei.htm#Index
RAEI is currently is preparing a Special Issue on linguistic analyses of media discourse(s). We would like to invite any contributors who are doing research on this field to participate in this volume which will appear in July 2006. Papers dealing with any contribution that linguistics can make to the analysis of media discourses will be welcome, either theoretical of practical applications.
Any area of linguistics is welcome (systemic linguistics, semantics, general pragmatics, relevance theory, discourse analysis, critical discourse analysis, conversation analysis, politeness theory, speech act theory, interactional sociolinguistics, nonverbal communication, etc.) and they can be applied to a wide range of media discourses (the press, TV discourse, film discourse, Internet discourse, advertising, cartoons, comics, radio discourse, etc.). Preferrably, contribution should deal with media discourses in English, but applications to other languages will also be welcome, provided that the articles are written in English.
We think that this area of linguistic research is underdeveloped and that a special volume like this one will no doubt contribute to a better understanding of how it can be applied to these media discourses.
Contributions, which should not be longer than 12.000 words, should be submitted before February 28th 2006, complying with the general RAEI guidelines for the submission of manuscripts which are accessible at the following Internet address:
