It extends work done on the language of the media to include an historical perspective, adding to wider contemporary debates about the social impact of the media. It draws upon the field of historical pragmatics, while retaining a concentration on the development of a particular form of media language, the newspaper, and its role in refracting and contributing to social developments. Dialogue is created between sociolinguistics and journalism studies. It is ideally suited to advanced students in these areas and in linguistics and media studies in general. "Conboy provides a fresh and lively account of the emergence of early English newspapers and their development through the centuries. In this important new book, he unravels the fascinating story of how newspapers helped to shape and were shaped by social, political and historical events." -Andreas H.
