To do so, it draws on multiple case studies from the United States and Australia. Brought together in this book for the first time, these case studies constitute more than the sum of their parts. They highlight different aspects of televisual characterisation and showcase the use of different data, methods, and approaches in its analysis. Uniquely, the book takes a mixed-method approach and will thus not only appeal to corpus linguists but also researchers in sociolinguistics, stylistics, and pragmatics. All corpus linguistic techniques are clearly introduced and explained, and the book is thus accessible to both experienced researchers as well as novice researchers and students. It will be essential reading in linguistics, literature, stylistics, and media/television studies. 410 0$aStudies in Corpus linguistics$v106 606 0 $aLinguistica 676 $a410.188 700 1$aBEDNAREK,$bMonika$0719741 801 0$aIT$bcba$gREICAT 912 $a996633172603316 951 $aIV.2. 3019$b290048 L.M.$cIV.2.$d556192 959 $aBK 969 $aUMA 996 $aLanguage and characterisation in television series$94309160 997 $aUNISA
