Sylvia Sierra presents case studies featuring the recorded talk of Millennial friends to demonstrate how and why these speakers make media references and use them to handle awkward moments and other interactional dilemmas. Sierra's analysis shows how such references contribute to epistemic management and frame shifts in conversation, which ultimately work together to construct a shared sense of Millennial identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBuilding on contemporary work in media studies, Sierra weaves together the most current linguistic theories regarding knowledge, framing, and identity to create a book that will be of interest to Boomers, Gen Xers, Millennials, and Gen Z alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sylvia Sierra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0190931124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190931124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.15w x 0.47d","brand":"Sylvia Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054763733247,"sku":"9780190931124","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5fa3b1fd-2472-420b-985b-bd8430004573.jpg?v=1685031856","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/millennials-talking-media-sylvia-sierra-9780190931124","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
