SPECIAL ISSUE ON PRAGMATICS AND MEDIA DISCOURSE

After the 1998 Special Issue on relevance theory, and the 2001 Special
Issue on pragmatics and translation, RAEI is currently preparing a
Special Issue on pragmatics and media discourse(s). We would like to
invite any contributors who are doing research on this field to
participate in this volume which will appear in November 2005. Papers
dealing with any contribution that pragmatics can make to the analysis
of media discourses will be welcome, either theoretical of practical
applications.

Any area of pragmatics is welcome (relevance theory, discourse
analysis, critical discourse analysis, conversation analysis,
politeness theory, speech act theory, interactional sociolinguistics,
nonverbal communication, etc.) and they can be applied to a wide range
of media discourses (the press, TV discourse, film discourse, Internet
discourse, advertising, cartoons, comics, radio discourse,
etc.). However, since our Journal deals with English Studies, the
object of analysis has to be in English (e.g. analyses of newspaper
articles in English, of advertising in English, of Internet discourses
in English, etc.).

We think that this area of pragmatic research is underdeveloped and
that a special volume like this one will no doubt contribute to a
better understanding of how pragmatics can be applied to these media
discourses.
