  • The Language of Inequality in the News

    A Discourse Analytic Approach

    by Michael Toolan ...
    Why in the early 1970s does The Times reject the idea of a national lottery, as rewarding luck not merit and effort, but warmly welcome one by the 1990s? Why in the 1970s do the Daily Mail's TV reviews address serious contemporary themes such as class- and race-relations, whereas forty years later they are largely concerned with celebrities, talent shows, and nostalgia? Why does the Conservative ... Read more

    Integrational Linguistic Approaches

    Edited by Michael Toolan ...
    Series series Routledge Advances in Communication and Linguistic Theory
    This book demonstrates the relevance of an integrational linguistic perspective to a practical, real-world need, namely the learning of languages.
