More About the Author
Product Description
Review
'Patrick Studer is one of the world's leading experts in early English newspapers. He has an intimate and detailed knowledge of both their content matters and their stylistic peculiarities. In this book he provides a rich and detailed introduction to these newspapers within their historical and socio-cultural context and he develops a set of sophisticated corpus-stylistic tools necessary for their analysis. There is a lot to learn not only about newspapers in eighteenth-century England but also about the English language at the turning point from Early Modern English to Present-day English.'

Product Description
Using data from a newspaper corpus, this book offers the first empirical study into the development of style in early mass media. The book analyses how news discourse was shaped over time by external factors, such as the historical context, news production, technological innovation and current affairs, and as such both conformed to and deviated from generic conventions. In this analysis, media style appears as a dynamic concept which is highly sensitive to innovative approaches towards making news not only informative but also entertaining to read. This cutting edge survey will be of interest to academics researching corpus linguistics, media discourse and stylistics.
