Das Buch widmet sich populären Musikdiskursen aus einer interdisziplinären diskurslinguistischen und korpuspragmatischen Perspektive. Es wird die Frage gestellt, wie Phänomene, die als schwer benennbar oder auch als unsagbar gelten, mit Worten beschrieben und bewertet werden: Musik und Klang nämlich, sowie ihr ästhetisches Erleben und ihre kulturelle Bedeutung. Ca. 13.500 Musikrezensionen unterschiedlicher Genres zwischen Pop und Klassik werden vor diesem Hintergrund untersucht. Zentrum des Interesses ist die Art und Weise der sprachlich-diskursiven Konstituierung musikalisch-ästhetischer Diskursobjekte und Kategorien im Verhältnis zum Metadiskurs der Unsagbarkeit von Musik. Das Augenmerk richtet sich dabei auf die Spezifik des diskursiven Sprach- und Zeichengebrauchs, vor allem in Kollokationen, nominalen Wortverbindungen und attributiven Clustern. Die Korpusanalysen zeigen erstmals empirisch, wie Musik im Diskurs mit sprachlichen Mustern, sprachlicher Kreativität und Dichte verwoben ist, wenn über musikalische Eigenschaften und klangliche Eigenheiten gesprochen bzw. geschrieben wird. Die Ergebnisse geben nicht zuletzt Aufschluss über das Verhältnis von Musterhaftigkeit und Diversität im Sprachgebrauch.

The book examines how US media, public opinion, interest groups and think tanks respond to US Presidents¿ attempts to market their foreign policies in the MENA Region. The scope of the analysis extends from the war on terror to the so-called Arab Spring. It focuses on some case studies including the Arab-Israeli conflict and the Iran nuclear deal. The book fills a gap in the literature pertaining to analyzing US foreign policy in the MENA area from a political communication perspective rather than from IR or a political-theory angle, which remains the dominant literature. In so saying, the book will appeal to students, researchers as well as thinks tanks and policy makers.

This book offers a comparative study of the political debate on the Euro crisis in the press. In the tradition of Critical Discourse Analysis, it investigates the ways in which discourse produces and reproduces social domination, and demystifies the hegemony of specific discourses. Combining quantitative content-based and qualitative text-based analyses, the book examines the discursive constructions of the crisis in a selection of broadsheet newspapers in Germany, Poland, and the UK, and discloses their ideological foundations. The analysis of the representations of the crisis, social actors and their agency, and legitimating strategies, including the use of metaphors, demonstrates how neoliberalism determined the hegemonic discourse on the Euro crisis. It resulted in ideologically biased discursive constructions that created and legitimised an image of non-agentic social change. The book will appeal to an international audience of discourse and media studies. It will be of interest to university teachers, graduate and undergraduate students and researchers of international and comparative media studies, political communication, linguistics, and politics.

This second edition explores the relationship between politics and media, with a particular emphasis on the significant disruptive changes to media and technology that have faced journalists, campaigners, and the public in recent years. The first edition, in 2014, described the earliest elements of social and online media: Web 2.0, the ¿information economy,¿ and the changes from traditional broadcast media to the early online world. With the rise of TikTok, the ¿fake news¿ claims of Donald Trump, the decline of local news, and the anti-democratic impulses that drove the January 6, 2021 coup attempts, the last decade has provided a rich and sometimes confounding set of disruptions to political communication that deserve attention. Technology has disrupted political communication in the online environment exceptionally quickly over the last decade, and this book provides a framework for understanding the intersections of these disruptions and their effect on an already-fragile democratic circumstance in the United States.

Unter Anwendung der Frame-Theorie wird in diesem Buch die Rolle von nicht-verbalisiertem Vorwissen in der interkulturellen Markenkommunikation untersucht. Eine starke Marke ist ein sowohl komplexes als auch fiktionales Konstrukt, das sich neben verschiedenen Oberflächenmerkmalen auch aus Assoziationen, Empfindungen und Hintergrundwissen zur Marke zusammensetzt. Mit einer kognitiv-linguistischen Vorgehensweise wird anhand von vier Fallbeispielen analysiert, welche unterschiedlichen Kommunikationsstrategien etablierte Unternehmen zur interkulturellen Positionierung von Marken nutzen und inwieweit diese sich in der Wahrnehmung der Rezipienten widerspiegeln. Dabei wird von einem holistischen Denkansatz ausgegangen, bei dem Sprachwissen und Weltwissen eine untrennbare Einheit darstellen und der Fokus liegt darauf, zu verstehen, wie abstraktes und künstlich erzeugtes Wissen um eine Marke kommunikativ etabliert werden kann und welche Rolle die landeskulturelle Bedingtheit hierbei spielt.

Seit jeher löst Fleisch Kontroversen aus ¿ sei es durch seine ressourcenintensive Gewinnung, die es zum Ausdruck für Wohlstand, Kraft und Gesundheit macht, oder sei es durch moralische Fragestellungen, die sich durch das Nutzen und Töten fühlender Lebewesen ergeben. Anhand des deutschen Leitmediums Der Spiegel setzt sich diese Arbeit mit Wandlungsprozessen öffentlicher Kommunikation über das Fleischessen auseinander. Für den Zeitraum der Jahre 1947 bis 2019 zeichnet sie nach, wie verschiedene Ernährungsdiskurse miteinander verschränkt sind, sich gegenseitig bedingen, befruchten und aufeinander beziehen und zeigt auf, welche Wissens- und Deutungselemente dabei zu verschiedenen Zeiten als relevant oder irrelevant in Erscheinung treten. Methodologisch basiert dies auf Konzepten der Wissenssoziologischen Diskursanalyse nach Keller und der Inhaltsanalyse nach Mayring.

Misinformation and disinformation have emerged as paramount societal challenges, affecting areas from public health to climate change and eroding both social understanding and democratic values. Enter the political fact-checkers: stalwart defenders of accurate public information and guardians of robust public discourse. What began as an endeavor to verify political claims in the U.S. has transformed into a global movement addressing diverse forms of public information, harnessing innovative tech tools, championing media literacy, and exploring governance solutions. Who are these fact-checkers, and how have they become such a versatile force against misinformation? While united by very similar verification practices, the community of fact-checkers is remarkably diverse. Reflecting the media-political landscapes they navigate, these initiatives bring together a spectrum of professional expertise, visions, and strategies. This book delves into this fascinating world, exploring how theconcept of fact-checking has proliferated globally. Spotlighting efforts in Argentina, Georgia, Italy, and the U.S., it offers an in-depth understanding of fact-checkers' approaches, their alignment with distinct environments, and their potential impact on modern public discourse.

Transnational Broadcasting in the Indo-Pacific brings together research spanning journalism, broadcast and political science to interrogate the issues arising from a rapidly changing global political and broadcast environment. This book asks: Why is there increasing interest in the provision of English-language media in the Indo-Pacific from countries like China? What are the implications for the traditional providers of foreign-produced news such as the Australia Broadcasting Corporation and the British Broadcasting Corporation? What now is the role of social media in the creation of broadcast journalism, and why is there panic in diplomatic circles about some of the journalism that originates from broadcasters in China and Russia? The result is a book that offers an insight into a rapidly transforming media landscape, the changing state of international relations, and the rise of new powers.

This book demonstrates that the disciplinary boundaries present within international relations approaches to security studies are redundant when examining social media, and inter- and multi-disciplinary analysis is key. A key result of the analysis undertaken is that when examining the social media sphere security scholars need to ¿expect the unexpected¿. This is because social media enables users to subvert, contest and create security narratives with symbols and idioms of their choice which can take into account ¿traditional¿ security themes, but also unexpected and under explored themes such as narratives from the local context of the users¿ towns and cities, and the symbolism of football clubs. The book also explores the complex topography of social media when considering constructions of security. The highly dynamic topography of social media is neither elite dominated and hierarchical as the Copenhagen School conceptualises security speak. However, neither is it completely flat and egalitarian as suggested by the vernacular security studies¿ non-elite approach. Rather, social mediäs topography is shifting and dynamic, with individuals gaining influence in security debates in unpredictable ways. In examining social media this book engages with the emancipatory burden of critical security studies. This book argues that it remains unfulfilled on social media and rather presents a ¿thin¿ notion of discursive emancipation where social media does provide the ability for previously excluded voices to participate in security debates, even if this does not result in their direct emancipation from power hierarchies and structures offline.
