3. Text Linguistic Approaches II: Textuality of Online Media
-
Nadine Rentel
Abstract
In the present article, we describe how the methodological framework of text linguistics can be applied to the analysis of multimodal texts in the media. The first part of the article consists in describing the general research framework of the subject. After the discussion of key concepts and definitions concerning text linguistic approaches in the domain of the description and analysis of texts in the media, we will refer to the most relevant theories and models, highlighting the cross-references between general studies and those dedicated to Romance languages. The accent will then be put on research that focuses on various texts in French and Italian. In addition, we will have a closer look at the linguistic corpora on which the studies are based. To close this main part of the article, we will refer to the most relevant research results that have been obtained by basing the analyses on a text linguistic model. The article closes with a short summary and an outlook on new research perspectives.
