This chapter introduces the volume which examines how Europe is represented linguistically in the news media of four European countries, France, Italy, Poland and the UK, through the use of a sample of newspapers and television news transcripts - a corpus - using the theoretical and methodological frameworks of corpus linguistics and those of corpus-assisted discourse analysis. The research was conducted as part of the EU-financed IntUne project,i whose aim was to investigate attitudes to an ever-expanding and ever-closer European Union. The project was composed of four working groups: experts, elites, mass and media. This volume presents some of the work of the media group.
