Researching Language and Social Media: A Student Guide introduces the linguistic frameworks currently used to analyse language found in social media contexts. This highly accessible guidebook outlines the practical steps and ethical guidelines entailed when gathering linguistic data from social media sites and platforms. In this new edition, the authors update the range of social media interactions used as examples and draw attention to important developments such as “fake news” and new areas of debate such as hate speech. Expanding the geographical and multilingual aspects, this edition also includes examples from Asia and the Arabic-speaking world. With updated methods that help students study the language of social media from a multimodal perspective, the recent uptake in image sharing, video-chat, and graphicons will also be addressed. Each chapter begins with a clear summary of the topics covered and also suggests sources for further reading to supplement the initial discussion and case studies. This timely book is an essential guide for students of English language and linguistics, media, and communication studies.

In Language Online, David Barton and Carmen Lee investigate the impact of the online world on the study of language. The effects of language use in the digital world can be seen in every aspect of language study, and new ways of researching the field are needed. In this book the authors look at language online from a variety of perspectives, providing a solid theoretical grounding, an outline of key concepts, and practical guidance on doing research. Chapters cover topical issues including the relation between online language and multilingualism, identity, education and multimodality, then conclude by looking at how to carry out research into online language use. Throughout the book many examples are given, from a variety of digital platforms, and a number of different languages, including Chinese and English. Written in a clear and accessible style, this is a vital read for anyone new to studying online language and an essential textbook for undergraduates and postgraduates working in the areas of new media, literacy and multimodality within language and linguistics courses.
Este libro analiza la manera con la que Lee Smith ha dado voz a todos los aspectos de su experiencia tanto como mujer-artista que vive en la América contemporánea como nativa de la Appalachia, una región sureña que todavía conserva un fuerte sentimiento de la tradición oral y de vínculos con la comunidad. Smith revisa y altera el lenguaje y los mitos que han condicionado sus búsquedas de la identidad y han silenciado sus voces. Al realizarlo, explora la relación entre el heroísmo femenino y la creatividad de las mujeres como algo distinto a la de los hombres. En su lucha, las heroínas de Smith reflejan el desarrollo personal y artístico de la escritora. La relación conflictiva de sus personajes femeninos con la auto-afirmación y con el mundo de la Appalachia revela los propios sentimientos ambivalentes de Smith hacia el concepto de individualidad y hacia sus raíces culturales.
We have become overfocused on what people think rather than how they think it, to the detriment of the therapeutic process. These authors are to be highly commended for their original contributions to this issue. . . They have something useful to say to practicing psychoanalysts, but most of those who will find this book useful are quite experienced workers who are questioning their own techniques and trying to expand their therapeutic skills." —Psychoanalytic Books ”An important and critical reflection on the life and message of T.D. Jakes, arguably the most famous African American preacher in the United States.” —PNEUMA This volume illustrates how psychoanalysts can help their patients overcome compulsive, self-destructive behavior by breaking through these constrictions to the enriching material present in the unconscious. Changing Mindsets is essential for therapists from all backgrounds, as they attempt to help their patients overcome damaging and rigid mindsets.

El libro "Family Reflections: Representing the Contemporary American Family in the Arts" editado por Carmen Flys y Maurice A. Lee, es fruto de un seminario y un proyecto de investigación de la Universidad de Alcalá. En el se encuentran numerosas reflexiones e interpretaciones de la familia norteamericana en las últimas décadas del siglo XX, realizadas por una veintena de autores, mayoritariamente españoles y norteamericanos. Hoy en día se habla mucho de los valores de la familia y su crisis, hay múltiples estudios sociológicos, pero relativamente poco análisis sobre las representaciones artísticas de la familia que tanto influyen en nuestras actitudes y percepciones. Este volumen pretende cubrir parcialmente ese vacío. El libro contiene artículos sobre retratos familiares en cine y televisión y sobre sus representaciones literarias. Se analizan diversos tipos de familia y las relaciones entre sus miembros. Así mismo, el volumen contiene varios textos literarios originales, relatos, ensayos y poemas con reflexiones personales acerca de la familia.
