Description:
"Tabloid Britain examines four popular tabloid newspapers and uncovers the variety of linguistic strategies they employ to depict contemporary Britain. These strategies are shown to construct, in a circular fashion, an impersonation of the language of the community of readers which the newspapers seek to attract. Including examples taken from a month-long study, Martin Conboy considers how this imaginary community of the British nation is drawn through themes such as 'outsiders', 'insiders', women, celebrity, history and politics."--Jacket.
