Reviews'[The authors] have been extremely successful in giving us the tools, the practices and methods for compiling working corpora to develop this new field of enquiry in the sociolinguistics of tourism. Developing a new critical methodology to examine the discourses that often remained unquestioned in a strictly business studies approach to tourism and hospitality is sufficient justification and recommendation for their innovative work.' - Charlie Mansfield, Journal of Tourism Consumption and Practice '...the study should prove relevant to scholars interested in the topics of language, representation, international communication and social mobility in a variety of contexts...Thurlow and Jaworski are indubitably developing a very promising research programme. Indeed Tourism Discourse will prove a welcome addition to the scholarly conversation.' - Raymond Oenbring, Discourse & Society, '[The authors] have been extremely successful in giving us the tools, the practices and methods for compiling working corpora to develop this new field of enquiry in the sociolinguistics of tourism.

SynopsisIn this engaging and lively book, Crispin Thurlow and Adam Jaworski present a compelling analysis of - and new insights into - the role of spoken, written and visual discourse in producing tourism as a global cultural industry. Framed by the symbolic and economic orders of global mobility, Tourism Discourse presents an empirically-based discussion of language ideologies and host-tourist relations in contemporary tourism. Each chapter investigates a different tourism genre: inflight magazines, trade signs and business cards, tourists' postcard messages, television holiday shows, newspaper travelogues, and guidebook glossaries. For Thurlow and Jaworski, these 'discourses on the move' illuminate the everyday experience and 'banal enactment' of globalization., Tourism Discourse offers new insights into the role of spoken, written and visual discourse in representing and producing tourism as a global cultural industry. With a view to the interplay between the symbolic and economic orders of global mobility, the book is grounded in empirically-based studies of key tourism genres., Tourism Discourse offers new insights into the role of spoken, written and visual discourse in representating and producing tourism as a global cultural industry. With a view to the interplay between the symbolic and economic orders of global mobility, the book is grounded in empirically-based studies of key tourism genres.
