This collection brings together research on cutting-edge developments at the intersection of language ideology and metalinguistic discourse, showcasing the potential of diverse approaches.With interest in language ideology and metalinguistic discourse growing, numerous qualitative and quantitative approaches have been established but have often resulted in a siloing of methods. Despite methodological advances, research on language ideology and metalinguistic discourse often relies on either qualitative methods (e.g., ethnography, content analysis) or traditional corpus linguistic techniques (e.g., concordance, collocation), with limited overlap between these “camps,” a division which has hindered a comprehensive understanding of the field. The book makes the case for bridging this gap by exploring the overlap between different approaches, demonstrating the nuanced insights a mixed methods perspective can provide. Featuring a wide range of applications across domains such as education, policy, minorities, traditional and social media, popular culture, and literature, the volume highlights the potential of integrating diverse methods. An afterword by Tommaso Milani ties these strands together, offering a forward-looking view of the field and potential directions for further research.This book will appeal to students and scholars in applied linguistics, language and education, and sociolinguistics.

How do violent jihadists use language to try to persuade people to carry out violent acts? This book analyses over two million words of texts produced by violent jihadists to identify and examine the linguistic strategies employed. Taking a mixed methods approach, the authors combine quantitative methods from corpus linguistics, which allows the identification of frequent words and phrases, alongside close reading of texts via discourse analysis. The analysis compares language use across three sets of texts: those which advocate violence, those which take a hostile but non-violent standpoint, and those which take a moderate perspective, identifying the different uses of language associated with different stages of radicalization. The book also discusses how strategies including use of Arabic, romanisation, formal English, quotation, metaphor, dehumanisation and collectivisation are used to create in- and out-groups and justify violence.

Language Ideologies and Canadian Media explores how French and English Canadian media discuss languages and language issues, which language ideologies predominate in English and French, and whether language ideologies in traditional news media are transferred to new and social media. Using corpus linguistics and discourse analysis and a variety of different datasets ranging from print newspapers to online news, commentary and Twitter, the author argues that language ideologies in Canadian media have a bearing not only on the extent to which Canadian language policies are adopted, but also on the very way that Canadians understand themselves and their place in the nation.
