| Summary: | Real Talk: Reality Television and Discourse Analysis in Action is the first book to examine the discourse of reality television. It provides state-of-the-art contextualization chapters on relevant concepts and methods, followed by rigorous case studies of the discourse practices that characterize a wide range of generic and linguistic cultural contexts, including dating shows in China and Spain, docudramas in Argentina and New Zealand and talent shows in the UK and the USA. These are structured in relation to two key themes of identity and aggression. This book will be essential reading for upper-level undergraduates and graduates in linguistics, discourse analysis and media studies, as well as for practitioners in these fields. |
