Dear Colleagues,

Please see below a call for papers for the forthcoming conference in
Zurich, 'Popular News Discourse: Anglo-American Newspapers 1833-1988

AHRC RESEARCH NETWORK
Exploring the language of the popular in Anglo-American Newspapers
1833-1988

University of Zurich 18 January 2012

As part of the series of research seminars which will contribute to the
Research Network we are inviting interested scholars to submit proposals
of 300 words for a seminar to be held at the University of Zurich on 18
January 2012 entitled Popular news discourse: Anglo-American newspapers,
1833-1988. It aims to bring together scholars from linguistics, history,
media and journalism studies, social sciences, and English to consider
the important of historical pragmatics as a tool for exploring the
content and context of Anglo-American newspapers between 1833 and 1988.
There is no charge for the event and there will be a number of keynote
speakers to be announced at a later date.

The dates 1833-1988 frame the research network project as they are key
dates in the development of popular discourse within Anglo-American
newspapers. 1833 sees the first development of the Penny Press and 1988
witnesses the peak in circulation of Murdoch’s British-based Sun. This
long view will reinforce how important historical context is to the
understanding of contemporary newspapers. Although this project will
certainly seek to address some of the wider implications of the
discourse of newspaper language it will proceed from a thorough textual
exploration in the first instance. Proposals are invited which explore
the ways in which popular newspapers during this period in either the
USA or Britain have attempted to structure the language of their product
to match particular aspects of the social experience of their readers.
It is envisaged as a genuinely interdisciplinary forum for theoretical,
empirical or methodological work at the intersection of pragmatics and
historical linguistics which might include the historical and
socio-cultural contexts of communication and/or sociolinguistic,
discourse analytical or semantic approaches to historical texts. The
proposals should be empirically-grounded and say something concrete
about how language was structured and restructured in popular newspapers
for commercial purposes during this period.

We plan to publish the best of the papers presented on the day in a
special edition of the international, peer-reviewed journal Historical
Pragmatics.

Please send your proposals or any questions you may have by the 1
September 2011 to the Research Assistant for the project Clare Burke:
