Drawing on the expertise of scholars and practitioners from multiple fields and disciplines, including screenwriters, literary critics, linguists and new media theorists, each chapter provides an in-depth analysis of dialogue in action. Together, these chapters demonstrate the unique energy and versatility that dialogic forms can offer artists and readers alike, and the special role that dialogue plays in helping us to understand the complexities and contradictions of human interaction. Dialogue across Media provides an essential resource for students and specialists in many fields concerned with dialogue, including language and literature, media and cultural studies, narratology and rhetoric. 28 1 19 2017 1 27 2017 9789027210456 9789027266156 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam 10.1075/ds.28 http://www.jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027266156 https://www.jbe-platform.com/deliver/fulltext/9789027266156.pdf https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/ds.28/html Marina Lambrou An analysis of Ian McEwan’s “Savagely Awoken” Drawing on Bakhtin’s (1986 [1929]) idea that language use is dialogic as it is marked by “addressivity” and “answerability” and addresses people and a particular context, this chapter argues that dialogism is also present in a commentary piece because it is part of a continuing, intertextual “dialogue” with previous reports and reporters of similar events as well as its readers, where it functions as “community building.” A discourse stylistic analysis of McEwan’s “Savagely Awoken” commentary identifies how dialogism is created and fulfils the important news values of newsworthiness in this carefully crafted and moving piece of journalistic writing. 1 19 2017 1 27 2017 137 154 10.1075/ds.28.08lam https://benjamins.com/catalog/ds.28.08lam https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/ds.28.08lam/html Problems of Dostoevsky’s Poetics Bakthin 1994 [1929] Speech Genres and Other Late Essays Bakhtin 1986 [1929] 10.7560/720466 The Dialogic Imagination: Four Essays Bakhtin 259 1981 [1934/35] Discourse in the Novel 10.1177/0957926513516041 The Language of News Media Bell 1991 10.1080/01638538809544689 10.1017/CBO9780511610295 On Dialogue Bohm 2004 10.4324/9780203947555 10.1177/107769908105800104 Evaluation in Text: Authorial Stance and the Construction of Discourse in Speech and Writing Conrad 56 2000 10.1093/oso/9780198238546.003.0004 Adverbial Marking of Stance Language and Media Durant 2009 Locating Power: Proceedings of the Second Berkeley Women and Language Conference Eckert 89 1992 Communities of Practice: Where Language, Gender and Power All Live 10.4135/9781506335117.n3 The King’s English Fowler 3 1931 10.1177/002234336500200104 Syntax and Semantics, III: Speech Acts Grice 41 1975 Logic and Conversation Journalism, Principles and Practice Harcup 2004 Writing for Journalists Hicks 1999 Print Journalism: A Critical Introduction Holmes 160 2005 Creating Identities, Building Communities Evaluation in Text: Authorial Stance and the Construction of Discourse Hunston 2000 10.1093/oso/9780198238546.001.0001 The Newspapers Handbook Keeble 2 1998 Just So Stories Kipling 1902 The Kristeva Reader Kristeva 24 1986 Word, Dialogue and Novel Disnarration and the Unmentioned in Fact and Fiction Lambrou 2016 The Companion to Stylistics Lambrou 92 2015 Discourse Stylistics The Routledge Handbook of Stylistics Lambrou 136 2014 Stylistics, Conversation Analysis and the Cooperative Principle Language in the Inner City Labov 1972 Essays on the Verbal and Visual Arts Labov 12 1967 Narrative Analysis: Oral Versions of Personal Experience The Guardian McEwan 2001 Beyond Belief The Guardian McEwan 2005 Savagely Awoken The Guardian McEwan 2015 Ian McEwan on Charlie Hebdo – Facing Down Hatred with Laughter A Prague School reader on Aesthetics, Literary Structure and Style Mukařovsky 17 1964 [1932] Standard Language and Poetic Language Introducing English Language Mullany 2010 10.4324/9780203858110 Print Journalism: A Critical Introduction Niblock 73 2005 Practice and Theory: What is News?
