The Ross Priory Group for Research on Broadcast Talk, formed in 1992, is an interdisciplinary group comprising researchers from media and cultural studies, linguistics, discourse analysis and conversation analysis who share a common interest in the nature of broadcast talk. The seminar provides a forum for discussion of current thinking and research in media discourse, from a range of cross-disciplinary theoretical and methodological perspectives, and work originating from these seminars has been widely published. Individual papers have appeared in journals ranging across the academic fields of media, discourse and sociolinguistics, as well as collectively in special editions of Text 17 (2) 1997, Discourse Studies 3 (4) 2001 and The Communication Review, (Vol. 4, 2001), as well as in a recent edited collection on Talk Shows: Tolson (ed) (2001) The TV Talk Show: Discourse, Performance, Spectacle. (Erlbaum).

Thought the list of affiliated members is long, some fifteen members have formed the core of the group: these are highlited in bold in the list of recent members below. More information about the research seminar can be found on this link.
