In spite of its common usage, there is little res…

There is an urgent need to understand lived experiences of climate change in the context of African cities, where even small climate shocks can have significant implications for the livelihoods of the urban poor.

The aim is to see whether there is evidence that over the last decade the newspaper, which describes itself as the overseas 'Voice of China', has attempted to adapt its style of reporting in response to China's raised international profile, as well as to the increasing diversity and…
Negatives and positives in the language of politics
An analytic model based on MAK Halliday’s System of Transitivity provides a powerful tool for decoding a journalist’s attitude to the events or individuals being written about. Chen (2005) showed how in the UK Times use of certain verbal processes rather than others to introduce direct or indirect speech could be an indicator that the journalist’s attitude towards the person being quoted was either negative or positive. In this study, using a mod…
New media language
Jean Aitchison & Diana M. Lewis (eds.), New media language . London & New York: Routledge, 2003. Pp. x, 209. Pb $25.95. In recent decades, say Jean Aitchison and Diana M. Lewis in their introduction to this volume, the media have seen an unprecedented amount of change. New media modes have appeared; newspapers and radio have been joined by television and the Internet. The speed of transmission has increased, and many more readers/viewers particip…
Evaluation in media texts

These differences are then correlated to differences in the roles played by the media in Britain and China in their respective societies. The aim is to demonstrate that, des…
