Citation
Description The talk addresses some of the linguistic implications arising from the recent shift of mainstream media to online platforms. Drawing on extensive data from live news in British daily newspapers, it argues that this form of presentation has affected the traditional role of the audience by affording the audience a limited degree of co-participation in the text. Using the methodologies of discourse analysis and (multi-modal) pragmatics, the talk documents some of the salient features of the genre of live news, as well as identifies the specific interactional patterns that make this media format so fascinating for readers and linguists alike.
