Hello all, sorry for the delay. I have been having connectivity issues today. Here is the compilation of all the responses I received. Again, thank you to all who contributed. Donald Matheson, Media discourses: analysing media texts, Berkshire: Open University Press, 2005 paul teusner Lots of fun things linked here, as well: http://ella.slis.indiana.edu/~herring/web.syll.06.html or here: http://ella.slis.indiana.edu/~herring/cmda.syll.2007.html triangulate from the two, maybe? --elijah Andre Brock (andre-brock@uiowa.edu) just completed a dissertation analyzing web sites relating to Hurricane Katrina, titled "Defining a Community and a Culture: Racial Identity Production by African American and Mainstream Websites". /Caroline You might also find Kress' work on multimodality and reading images helpful. Kress, G.R. and van Leeuwen, T. (1996). Reading Images: the grammar of graphic design. London: Routledge Kress, G.R. and Van Leeuwen, T. (2002). Multimodal Discourse: the modes and media of contemporary communication. London: Edward Arnold Regards, Rebecca Hi Christopher Sorry for replying so late but my Universities email server has been done all weekend and I have only just noticed your message. My doctoral research involved a discourse analysis (using Foucauldian archaeology and genealogy methods, with critical discourse analysis and sociolinguistics - somehow cobbled together) of the discourse of consumer empowerment in e-commerce including a close analysis of the ninemsn (Australian portal) website. Let me know if there is any help I can offer you as there wasn't an awful lot of available material when I was conducting my study.
