Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a field in its own right, Minority Language Media studies is developing fast. The recent technological and social developments that have accelerated media convergence and opened new ways of access and exchange into spaces formerly controlled by media institutions, offer new opportunities, challenges and dangers to minority languages, and especially to their already established media institutions. This book includes debates on what convergence and participation actually mean, a series of case studies of specific social media developments in minority language, as well as comparative studies on how the cultural industries have engaged with the new possibilities brought about by media convergence. Finally, the book also offers a historical review of the development of Minority Language Media worldwide, and evidences the areas in which more extensive research is required.

Book Synopsis Minorities and Media by : Clint C. Wilson
Download or read book Minorities and Media written by Clint C. Wilson and published by SAGE Publications, Incorporated. This book was released on 1985-07 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Minorities and Media is a highly readable analysis of the ways in which the mass media have portrayed minorities in the United States since the late nineteenth century. The book examines the ways in which the media have reinforced racial stereotypes, and provides an analysis of current trends which reflect the growing recognition of ethnic diversity. The authors conclude that the increasing racial diversity of the United States and continued audience segmentation will reduce the role of communication media in transmitting and developing the common culture of American society.
Book Synopsis Mediatization and Sociolinguistic Change by : Jannis Androutsopoulos
Download or read book Mediatization and Sociolinguistic Change written by Jannis Androutsopoulos and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-09-04 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first volume to focus on the role of media in processes of linguistic change, one of the most contested issues in contemporary sociolinguistics. Its 17 chapters and five section commentaries present cutting-edge research from variationist and interactional sociolinguistics, media linguistics, language ideology research, and minority language studies. The volume advances our understanding of linguistic change in a mediatized world in three ways. First, it introduces the notions of sociolinguistic change and mediatization to create a broader theoretical framing than the one offered by ‘the media’ and ‘language change’. Second, it takes the discussion beyond the notions of ‘influence’ and ‘effect’ and the binary distinction of ‘media’ vs. ‘community language’. Third, it examines the relation of sociolinguistic change and mediatization and from five complementary viewpoints: media influence on linguistic structure; media engagement in interaction; change in mass and new media language; language-ideological change; and the role of media for minority languages. Bringing these strands of sociolinguistic scholarship together, this volume examines their shared references and common lines of thinking.

Book Synopsis The European Charter for Regional Or Minority Languages and the Media by : Tom Moring
Download or read book The European Charter for Regional Or Minority Languages and the Media written by Tom Moring and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is based on a study that was prepared for the Secretariat of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages to inform the future application of those provisions of the charter relating to the media. At the charter secretariat it was felt that it would be appropriate to make this study accessible to a wider audience, in order to assist in the application of these charter provisions. In particular, it is hoped that this publication will be useful to governments which have signed and ratified, or are considering signature and ratification, of the charter, in order to better understand some of its obligations; to public servants charged with the task of implementing such obligations; to users of regional or minority languages, and those non-governmental organisations which represent them, in assessing the choice of obligations and the challenges of implementation; and to a broader public interested in these issues, not least media outlets themselves, which play no small part in the successful implementation of charter obligations.
Book Synopsis Minority Women and Western Media by : Leticia Anderson
Download or read book Minority Women and Western Media written by Leticia Anderson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-07-01 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Minority Women and Western Media: Challenging Representations and Articulating New Voices presents research examining media portrayals of women from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America. It provides qualitative and quantitative findings of how women are stereotyped and misrepresented not only because of their gender but also their race, religion, ability, physical attributes, and political status. Whilst their voices are frequently excluded, marginalized and misrepresented, the chapters in this volume show how minority women are creating and articulating new discourses and challenging assumptions and expectations about themselves. This book provides insights into how women are represented in different media, including newspapers, television shows, films, and online platforms. Scholars of media studies, women’s studies, and communication will find this book particularly useful.

Book Synopsis Minority Language Planning and Micronationalism in Italy by : Paolo Coluzzi
Download or read book Minority Language Planning and Micronationalism in Italy written by Paolo Coluzzi and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Issues of language planning and minority nationalism or «micronationalism» are becoming increasingly important in a globalized world. Yet minority language planning in Italy and its relation to minority nationalism has so far attracted relatively limited academic attention, despite the particularly interesting changes that have taken place since Law 482 on the protection of minority languages was passed in 1999. This book presents the situation in Italy in three case studies and compares them with similar cases in Spain: Friulian (compared with Galician), Cimbrian (compared with Aranese) and Western Lombard (compared with Asturian). Analysis of these case studies is preceded by a clear and thorough introduction to terminology, legislation in the two countries, nationalism, the discipline of language planning and bilingual education, both in general terms and with specific reference to the Italian and Spanish cases. This first part introduces and defines the crucial distinction between minority and regional languages, between macro and micronationalism, both in their conservative and progressive strands, and between majority and minority language planning, among other things.
