In a clear and engaging style, this book offers the reader a sophisticated yet accessible insight into the nitty-gritty of televisual discourse. Moving seamlessly across an astounding range of programme formats, speech genres, and analytic frameworks, Lorenzo-Dus explains how television shapes our perceptions, worldviews and lifestyles. Read this book and watch television with your eyes and ears open. Scary, gripping and thought-provoking. - Professor Adam Jaworski, Centre for Language and Communication Research, Cardiff University '...useful and interesting...' - Journal of Sociolinguistics
