Handbook of Language and Pop Culture

This handbook serves as an authoritative point of departure for linguistic and transdisciplinary work on pop cultural artifacts. It builds on contributions from all linguistic subfields engaging with performed language, including (but not limited to) sociolinguistics, pragmatics, stylistics, corpus linguistics, conversation analysis, (critical) discourse analysis, as well as media linguistics and applied linguistics/language education. It theorizes pop cultural communication, introduces fundamental concepts and approaches, systematizes knowledge, and identifies avenues for future research in the emerging area of pop cultural linguistics, also taking into account multimodal aspects.
