Examining a corpus of over 1,000 consumer reviews, Camilla Vásquez explores many of the discourse features that are characteristic of this new, user-generated, computer-mediated and primarily text-based genre. She investigates the language used by reviewers as they forge connections with their audiences to draw them into their stories, as they construct their expertise and authority on various subjects and as they evaluate and assess their consumer experiences. She also demonstrates how reviewers display their awareness about emerging conventions of the very genre in which they are participating. This book adopts an eclectic approach to the analysis of discourse, and explores topics such as evaluation, identity and intertextuality as they occur in online reviews of hotels, restaurants, recipes, films and other consumer products."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Bloomsbury discourse series.Consumer behaviorElectronic discussion groupsSemantics, discourse analysis, etcConsumer behavior.Electronic discussion groups.658.8/343Vasquez Camilla770169UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910786932903321The discourse of online consumer reviews3778782UNINA
