Travelogs and the management of unfamiliarity

Article Abstract:

Travelogs are published impressionistic and evaluative accounts of travel to at least one destination area and are written to provide travel information and promotion. They minimize prospective visitors' fears stemming from unfamiliarity with certain destinations using four sociolinguistic techniques namely, simile and metaphor, the denigration of locals, citation of accounts from expatriates or visitors to the area, and languaging.
