Description

Explore the mechanics of indirect language with Allusions in the Press: An Applied Linguistic Study. Published by De Gruyter Mouton, this corpus-based research provides an in-depth look at how journalists use allusions within the British press to communicate complex ideas. This study covers a wide range of cultural targets, including literary figures like Shakespeare and Jane Austen, political figures like Hillary Clinton, and popular culture elements such as TV soaps, hymns, nursery rhymes, proverbs, and riddles. By analyzing the linguistic forms these allusions take, the book demonstrates how they function meaningfully in everyday discourse. Readers will gain a better understanding of the background cultural and intertextual knowledge required to interpret these references. The text also examines the specific processing stages involved when a reader encounters an allusion, integrating these findings into existing theories of indirect language. This is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in linguistics and media studies.
