Book review: Devan Rosen (ed.), The Social Media Debate: Unpacking the Social, Psychological, and Cultural Effects of Social Media

the authors admit, one of the limitations of the research is that ‘some important intellectual discussions taking place outside Western academia may still be under-represented, partly reflecting our own limitations’ (2). Their research has thrown up many questions in need of further analysis as to the institutional discourses of international organizations in non-Western languages, such as Chinese and Arabic. The authors call the reader’s attention to other researchers as they argue that ‘in order to actually see how hegemonic this ideology in non-Western documents should be analyzed’ and expressing the hope that ‘other scholars will feel inspired to undertake this investigation’ (18). All that said, the book makes significant theoretical contributions to both discourse and translation studies and will be useful for researchers and students in critical discourse analysis, translation studies and political studies.
