"Routledge English Language Introductions cover core areas of language study and are one-stop resources for students. Assuming no prior knowledge, books in the series offer an accessible overview of the subject, with activities, study questions, sample analyses, commentaries and key readings - all in the same volume. The innovative and flexible 'two-dimensional' structure is built around four sections - introduction, development, exploration and extension - which offer self-contained stages for study. Each topic can also be read across these sections, enabling the reader to build gradually on the knowledge gained. This revised second edition of Language and Media: provides students with a comprehensive and accessible overview of the field of Language and Media; covers traditional as well as emerging digital media genres and introduces a range of theoretical frameworks and analytical tools for analyzing them; includes genre analysis, sociolinguistics, critical discourse analysis, mediated discourse analysis and multimodality; acquaints readers with the ways in which mediation and its materialities affect language use, explores what linguistic theories can teach us about media production and reception, and the ways different media formats are structured and used. The book emphasises the increasingly creative ways ordinary people are engaging in media production. It also addresses a number of urgent current concerns around media and media production/reception including fake news, clickbait, virality and surveillance. Written by three experienced teachers and authors, this accessible textbook is an essential resource for all students of English language and linguistics"--

"This book is a deep dive into the mutual perceptions of Melanesian peoples, egalitarian societies unknown to Europeans for thousands of years, and successive waves of European explorers, traders, missionaries, and eventual conquerors. Professor Rosman and Professor Rubel have searched travelers' reports for evidence of how the first two centuries of contact were understood by the people of New Ireland, Papua New Guinea. Their anthropological history makes use of existing information on political, social, and cultural organization of Melanesian peoples, supplemented by the authors' own comparative ethnography skills and original fieldwork. Striving to find New Irelanders' voice in detailed travelers' accounts, this book also emphasizes the importance of long-standing racist stereotypes (Noble Savage, Wild Man, Cannibal, Utopia) among Europeans with their eyes on building capital in world markets. Their analysis provides a foundation for judging how early contact experiences most likely were interpreted and understood or misunderstood, and strategies accordingly deployed, by both parties to the encounters. The authors' analysis shows how capitalism and colonialism eventually wrought profound changes in the life of New Ireland peoples who seemed for the first 250 years to be in control of their contact situation"--
