The Routledge Handbook of Language and Religion is the first ever comprehensive collection of research on religion and language, with over 35 authors from 15 countries, presenting a range of linguistic and discourse analytic research on religion and belief in different discourse contexts. The contributions show the importance of studying language and religion and for bringing together work in this area across sub-disciplines, languages, cultures, and geographical boundaries. The Handbook focuses on three major topics: Religious and Sacred Language, Institutional Discourse, and Religious Identity and Community. Scholars from a variety of different disciplinary backgrounds investigate these topics using a range of linguistic perspectives including Cognitive Linguistics, Discourse Analysis, Sociolinguistics, Pragmatics, and Conversation Analysis. The data analysed in these chapters come from a variety of religious backgrounds and national contexts. Linguistic data from all the major world religions are included, with sacred texts, conversational data, and institutional texts included for analysis.The Handbook is intended to be useful for readers from different subdisciplines within linguistics, but also to researchers working in other disciplines including philosophy, theology, and sociology. Each chapter gives both a template for research approaches and suggestions for future research and will inspire readers at every stage of their career.

Media discourse is changing at an unprecedented rate. This book presents the most recent stylistic frameworks exploring different and changed forms of media. The volume collates recent and emerging research in the expanding field of media stylistics, featuring a variety of methods, multimodal source material, and a broad range of topics. From Twitter and Zooniverse to Twilight and Mommy Blogs, the volume maps out new intellectual territory and showcases a huge scope, neatly drawn together by leading scholars Helen Ringrow and Stephen Pihlaja.Contributors write on topics that challenge the traditional notions and conceptualisations of "media" and the consequences of technological affordances for the development of media production and consumption. There is a particular focus on the ways in which contemporary media contexts complicate and challenge traditional media models, and offer new and unique ways of approaching discourse in these contexts.

Providing an in-depth analysis of the diverse discourse types present in the fight for women’s bodily autonomy in Ireland over four decades, this book explores discourse from the imposition of the Eighth Amendment in 1983 to its repeal in 2018 and beyond, adopting a mixed-methods critical linguistic approach.By applying models of analysis from across the spectrum of critical linguistics, the book maximises the potential of the analytical models prominent in critical linguistics and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), in turn maximising the number of discourse arenas available for investigation.Interdisciplinary both in terms of methodology and data, the chapters analyse a diverse range of societal texts including traditional political campaign discourse and cross-generational pro-choice leaflets. The book also assesses the utilisation of pro-choice voices in the contemporary discourse arenas of social media and broadcast entertainment, and examines politico-legal arenas such as submissions to the Citizens’ Assembly and parliamentary speeches. It also scrutinises the abortion rights campaign in the north of Ireland through interviews with a range of campaigners.In addressing the specific complex issue of abortion rights and exposing relevant data to diverse linguistic scrutiny, the book showcases the methodological rigour of critical linguistics in original research. Against the backdrop of ongoing reproductive rights debates in the USA, Europe and internationally, this book is a comprehensive analysis of the linguistic strategies of a major social event which continues to resonate across the world.

This book expands and deepens the investigation of the language associated with or produced by groups that are socially, culturally, racially and economically outliers and whose marginalisation results in a different engagement with and participation in mainstream society’s activities. It features case studies from across the globe, including Ghana, Norway, Poland, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Zambia, addressing the construction (and self-construction) of marginalisation and diversity in discourse and society, bringing to light many unheard and hidden voices and perspectives. The 14 chapters explore a wide range of forms of marginalisation and diversity as global issues that have an impact on societies worldwide, in terms of exclusion in the guise of non-participation in mainstream society’s activities and contestation in different international contexts.The contributions in the book capture how vulnerable individuals and groups occupying the in-between spaces of marginality navigate through them and construct themselves as dissenting and diverse; how they are aware of their condition at a certain point in time and how they are able to reflect resourcefully on it. Aspiration to a safe place away from the street for individuals at risk of rough sleeping can find an echo in the desire to escape the oppression of a despotic regime that limits Saudi women’s freedom. On the contrary, cases of negative self-exclusion are exemplified by the language of Men’s Rights Activists who, critical of society’s oppression of men, engage in a condemnation of women and feminism. In both cases, there is a conflict between periphery of society and mainstream, although the language of the excluded still engages with the hegemonic society in a form of intrinsic contestation.
