Ebook: Fascinating Transitions in Multilingual Newscasts: A corpus-based investigation of translation in the news

This book combines methods including Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), Corpus Linguistics and comparative analysis in order to grasp the complexities and ramifications of multilingual broadcasting journalism in different national and supranational contexts. Starting with the idea that both journalism and translation are multi-layered objects and may conceal power dynamics and struggles within society, the author uses a theoretical and methodological convergence framework to analyse examples from Italy, the UK and Europe, as well as calling for larger and more systematic studies about language transfer activities in the news. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of translation, corpus linguistics, journalism and CDA.
