The Language of
Newspapers
Advances in Sociolinguistics
Series Editors: Professor Sally Johnson, University of Leeds
Dr Tommaso M. Milani, University of the Witwatersrand
Since the emergence of sociolinguistics as a new field of enquiry in the late
1960s, research into the relationship between language and society has advanced
almost beyond recognition. In particular, the past decade has witnessed the con-
siderable influence of theories drawn from outside of sociolinguistics itself.
Thus, rather than see language as a mere reflection of society, recent work has
been increasingly inspired by ideas drawn from social, cultural and political
theory that have emphasized the constitutive role played by language/discourse
in all areas of social life. The Advances in Sociolinguistics series seeks to pro-
vide a snapshot of the current diversity of the field of sociolinguistics and the
blurring of the boundaries between sociolinguistics and other domains of study
concerned with the role of language in society.
