The AILA research network Media Linguistics connects applied linguists who address crucial aspects of text production (written, oral and online) in the domain of public discourse in general and news media in particular.
Media Linguistics organizes regular meetings that are coordinated with panels on media and language at international conferences. Members, projects, events, and related networks are documented on this website.
The network started as LINGUA-MEDIA, a cooperation of the Swiss Association of Communications and Media Research SGKM with the Swiss Association of Applied Linguistics VALS-ASLA.
