Journalists’ Use of Gender‐Inclusive Language in German Youth Radio: Ethnographic Insights From On‐ and Off‐Air Communication
The use of gender‐inclusive language (GIL) in German is frequently examined in linguistics and related fields. While journalistic texts are often the central element of such analyses, research on the actual language users – the journalists – and their complex linguistic practices behind the scenes is rather scarce. This article is based on a larger EU‐funded research project that examines journalistic practices at a German youth radio station to …
Media representations of ethnic diversity in times of ‘crisis’: Exploring factors shaping translingual and transmodal journalistic practices in German youth radio’s station image building
Linguistic Diversity in German Youth Media-The Use of English in Professionally Produced Instagram Memes and Reels
While speakers of German have adopted many loanwords from other languages throughout history, recent diversification of language use in Germany is mainly driven by the global mobility of English. Previous research has therefore focused on various domains in which English linguistic resources are used, particularly in traditional media and social media communication. Furthermore, many studies on social media communication have also examined Englis…
Stylistic functions of anglicisms in German radio: Brevity of expression and conveying modernity from the perspective of journalists
Although English has no official status in countries of the expanding circle such as Germany (Kachru, 1985), English words and phrases, which are also referred to as anglicisms, can often be found in German mass media texts (Czech Rogoyska & Zboch, 2016; Fiedler, 2022; Glahn, 2002; Knospe, 2014; Onysko, 2004, 2007). In this context, previous research has paid much attention to the stylistic functions of anglicisms used by the mass media, often an…
Global Englishes and the Semiotics of German Radio—Encouraging the Listener's Visual Imagination Through Translingual and Transmodal Practices
Due to increasing mediatisation of societies and the global diffusion of English, previous research has paid a great deal of attention to the use of English in contact with other linguistic resources. Traditionally, the focus in studies on global Englishes is predominantly on verbal resources, which are often examined in media corpora. The recent paradigmatic shift towards a conceptualisation of language as a social practice, however, also acknow…
English on air: Novel anglicisms in German radio language
Traditional research on anglicisms has been undertaken in different media corpora. However, the media, both agents of globalisation and affected by globalising flows, and how they operate within global flows of messages and linguistic resources that characterise our mediatised societies have not been given sufficient attention in these studies. In addition, the German media have been repeatedly criticised for using anglicisms without explaining t…
Hybridization or what? A question of linguistic and cultural change in Germany
This paper contributes to the ongoing debate around the effects of globalization and the influence of English on languages and cultures worldwide (amongst others Phillipson 2009; Pieterse 2009; Blommaert 2010). These effects, which are mostly viewed from the perspectives of homogenization and hybridization in the German case by previous research, are reconsidered in this paper by means of shedding light on the yet undiscovered linguistic and cult…
