English news discourse from newsbooks to new media
Get PDFThis chapter discusses the long diachrony of English news discourse from seventeenth-century newsbooks to the twentieth century and the dawn of multimedia. We shall place news discourse in its context of sociocultural developments considering what might be diachronically constant and what prone to change. The data available for studies on news discourse as well as the potential for interdisciplinary study methods at various interfaces will be highlighted between sociolinguistics, journalism, semiotics, literary theory, critical discourse analysis, pragmatics and sociology.Peer reviewe

Self-reference as an argumentative tool:Discourse by politicians and experts during the Covid-19 pandemic
Get PDFIn this chapter, we analyse how politicians and experts from Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain involved in the Covid-19 crisis construct selfreference on Twitter (currently X), combining linguistic approaches to person reference and argumentation theory. On the one hand, we show that uses are fairly similar across the three countries, in spite of the considerable differences as to government measures concerning the pandemic. On the other hand, differences can be found between the different professional categories. Whereas politicians mainly use self-reference to build their ethos, the experts rather support the ethos of others. In showing how these uses contribute to building or employing ethos, we also demonstrate that these uses can ultimately be understood as having argumentative functions on Twitter.</p
