Politicamente corretto, linguaggio inclusivo, "lingua facile", sessismo linguistico, hate speech: nella maggior parte dei casi di discriminazione un ruolo determinante spetta (anche) al linguaggio. Pur non limitandosi a fatti linguistici, la discriminazione viene spesso trasmessa attraverso la lingua, per mezzo di espressioni volutamente spregiative, ma anche nascosta in usi idiomatici apparentemente innocui. D'altro canto però proprio la lingua può servire a combattere le discriminazioni, p.e. ricorrendo a un linguaggio inclusivo che non perpetri stereotipi di genere, oppure semplificando testi istituzionali per renderli accessibili alle persone con disabilità intellettive. Questo volume analizza da un punto di vista diacronico e sincronico alcune espressioni e locuzioni discriminatorie sulla base di materiali eterogenei (dizionari, raccolte di proverbi, trattati e testi letterari, articoli di giornale, social network, canzoni) e secondo diversi approcci metodologici. Il focus è sull'italiano, con excursus su francese, inglese e tedesco.

This book shows how corpus linguistics and discourse analysis can benefit from the cooperation with a variety of other language-related disciplines, such as cognitive linguistics, appraisal theory, corpus stylistics and cultural studies.

This work is located in the field of contrastive media linguistics. Its goal is to examine the origin and nature of readers' comments by readers of French and English popular science magazines. The book dissects media content using text linguistic tools. Transmedial cultures are explored across time, platforms, languages, and editing houses.

This volume presents a range of academic approaches to genre emergence: text linguistics, conversation analysis, literary studies and media linguistics. The book aims to cover many different genres: print articles and advertisements, readers' comments, TV news shows and sitcom series, Wutreden, shitstorms, weblogs and erotic romance novels.

This volume reflects the discussion that emerged around the concepts "communication form", "communicative practice", "medium" and "genre". It combines theoretical contributions with empirical studies on public signage in cities, video games, self-tracking, the "National Geographic Magazine", and the personal blog.

This volume represents the breadth and depth of current linguistic research of predominantly young linguists. It contains papers from systemic linguistics, text linguistics, sociolinguistics and the didactics of language.

Anglicisms in Russian and German Blogs

This media linguistic study provides a genre history of the personal weblog, using a diachronic corpus (1997-2012). The results on several dimensions (e.g. situation, structure etc.) are used to outline a coherent genre history of the personal weblog in its various relations to different on- and offline genres.
