Engaging in Critical Language and Cultural Studies Approaches for an Examination of Racism and Migration in the British Public Space
Rasha Ali Dheyab,
Ph.D. Student, Department of English, Faculty of Letters, Ovidius University of Constanța, Constanța, Romania
This article focuses on the relevance of Critical Discourse Analysis and of cultural studies approaches to an examination of racism and migration in the British public space. Critical Discourse Analysis as an active engagement with discourse in the social space is one of these critical approaches. The article is based on Halliday’s systematic functional grammar in terms of transitivity and modality. The main goal of this study is to investigate transitivity and modality about migration as it appears in a number of British tabloids. The focus is on aspects of racism in western countries, where there is a majority of white people and on issues related to patterns of access to the public and issues of inequality, racism and discrimination in the public space. Racism's reproduction and promotion by certain segments of the media is not a simple or straightforward process. It is important to see how the media plays a role in the reproduction of racism.

This document provides an overview of critical discourse analysis (CDA). It defines CDA as the study of written and spoken language use to reveal social sources of power and inequality. The document outlines the theoretical origins of CDA in Western Marxism and discusses three major models: Fairclough's dialectical-relational approach examines texts, processes of production/interpretation, and social conditions; Van Dijk's socio-cognitive approach analyzes the interaction of cognition, discourse and society; and Wodak's discourse-historical approach developed in the traditions of sociolinguistics and Frankfurt School to research topics like sexism and racism.

Critical discourse analysis (CDA) examines how social power and inequality are reproduced through text and talk. CDA aims to understand and resist social domination by making power relations and ideologies more transparent. CDA analyzes both micro-level discourse and macro-level social structures, and how they interconnect. It focuses on how discourse enactes, confirms, or challenges power abuse and inequality between social groups.
Anti-Black Racism In Kathryn Stockett S The Help A Critical Discourse AnalysisAshley Hernandez
This document summarizes a research paper that analyzes the ideological construction of anti-black racism in Kathryn Stockett's novel The Help using Critical Discourse Analysis. It discusses the theoretical frameworks of anti-black racism, critical discourse analysis, and Teun Van Dijk's socio-cognitive approach. Van Dijk's approach analyzes discourse across three dimensions: text, social cognition, and social context. The research paper aims to understand how Stockett ideologically constructs anti-racism in The Help novel through these three dimensions. It uses qualitative methods such as library research and content analysis of the novel to conduct the critical discourse analysis.
This document provides an overview of critical discourse analysis (CDA). It defines CDA as the study of written and spoken language use to reveal social sources of power and inequality. The document outlines the theoretical origins of CDA in Western Marxism and discusses three influential models: Norman Fairclough's dialectical-relational approach examines text, processes of production/interpretation, and social conditions; Teun van Dijk's socio-cognitive approach analyzes the interaction of cognition, discourse and society; and Ruth Wodak's discourse-historical approach was developed in sociolinguistics and focuses on large research programs of language use related to issues like racism.
Critical discourse analysis (CDA) examines language use in real world contexts beyond sentence structure, considering social and political aspects. CDA views language as a form of social practice and seeks to identify power structures and inequities reinforced through language. It takes a critical stance to analyze how language constructs social phenomena and plays a role in domination or social change. Approaches to CDA include Fairclough's three-dimensional framework analyzing text, discourse practices, and social context, and Van Dijk's focus on social cognition and power relations at the micro and macro levels.
A Critical Discourse Analysis Of Transitivity Variation Between Genders In Se...Kelly Lipiec
This document provides a literature review related to a study analyzing gender variation in political speeches. It defines key terms and discusses related studies that have examined gender variation and differences in language used by males and females. Specifically, previous research has found differences in word categories used, with females using more family-related and appearance-related words. Studies also show that male and female politicians are judged differently for scandals. The literature review discusses how transitivity and corpus linguistics methods can help analyze gender differences in language.
Critical Discourse Analysis emerged from critical linguistics and examines how power and dominance are maintained through language. It analyzes both written and spoken texts within their social contexts. CDA explores opaque relationships between language use and wider social structures and power relations. Theorists like Fairclough see CDA as having three stages: description of textual features, interpretation of the relationship between text and interaction, and explanation of the social context. Fairclough's model analyzes the text itself, the discursive practices of text production/consumption, and the broader social practices. This brief example shows how CDA can take an in-depth look at language to expose underlying ideologies.
The document discusses discourse analysis and key concepts in analyzing language use and interpretation. It covers the Hallidayan model of language which analyzes context of culture, context of situation (including field, tenor, mode), genre, and register. It also discusses Grice's cooperative principle and maxims of conversation, implicatures, and approaches to discourse analysis including initial analysis, conversation analysis, and critical discourse analysis.

Critical Discourse Analysis by Thomas HuckinCDAGCUF
Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is introduced as a highly context sensitive approach to analyzing politically or culturally influential texts. CDA differs from other forms of textual analysis in six key ways, such as being highly integrated across text, discourse, and social context levels. Strategies of CDA can be used to analyze various artifacts like advertisements, movies, and websites. Tools of CDA include genre, framing, foregrounding, omission, and backgrounding, which can be applied at the sentence level to identify manipulation. In conclusion, CDA is defined as a democratic approach that examines power relations and aims to improve society through close analysis of influential texts and consideration of real-world contexts.

Baz Luhrmann modernized Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet to make it more accessible to modern audiences. He used techniques like a news broadcast prologue with images and music to quickly set the scene of feuding families in Verona. Throughout the film, Luhrmann incorporated modern elements like flashy costumes, contemporary music, and visual effects to appeal to contemporary viewers. This transformed Shakespeare's classic into a visually exciting adaptation while still retaining the core tragic love story.

Here are the key points about the impact of feminism on criminology:
- Traditional criminology theories were developed based primarily on the experiences of men and often did not consider the unique experiences and pathways to crime for women. Feminist criminology emerged to address this gap.
- Feminist criminologists argue that gender is a key factor in understanding crime. They examine how societal expectations and imbalances of power between men and women influence women's involvement in criminal behavior.
- Areas of focus for feminist criminology include exploring crimes that disproportionately impact women like domestic/intimate partner violence, sexual assault, and sex trafficking. Theories seek to understand the gendered nature of these offenses.

The document discusses air pollution, noting that it is the introduction of foreign particles into the atmosphere that can have detrimental health and environmental effects. While car exhausts, factories and fires are well-known contributors, the document focuses on particulate matter as a significant but less recognized source of air pollution, explaining that particulate matter consists of solid and liquid particles of varying sizes that are made up of different chemicals. The smaller particulates, such as PM 2.5, are especially concerning due to their ability to penetrate deep into lungs and bloodstreams.

Conversation Analysis Paper
1. Conversation Analysis Paper
Conversation Analysis
Conversation analysis refers to a model of analyzing spoken communication or interactions for the
determination of how language develops within social contexts. It is useful in understanding
interactions with classroom settings, courtrooms and in interviews (Sidnell, 2011). Conversation
analysis provides a framework for assessing specific aspects of an oral interaction, such as opening
and closing, topic management, adjacency pairs, feedback, preference organization, turn–taking and
repair. Opening and closing is a crucial element of a conversation as it influences the starting and
finishing of oral interactions. Notably, different cultures have divergent approaches to opening and
closing conversations. Antaki (2011) illustrates that the place of the conversation also influences the
nature of opening and closing statements. For instance, communication across online platforms,
including social media networks have different opening and closing approaches when compared to
face–to–face communication. Sidnell (2011) indicates that ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

An effective conversation provides all participants with opportunities of contributing to discourse.
Conversation analysis seeks to establish the need for eliminating possibilities of having overly
dominant speakers within conversations (Wong & Waring, 2010). Feedback mechanisms are also
analyzed to determine whether conversations provide participants with opportunities of providing
responses. It is however notable that feedback differs across cultures. Social media platform are
designed to provide users with opportunities of providing feedback or expressing their reactions to
specific content. However, the language used to provide feedback in social media conversations may
not be culturally relevant owing to the divergent cultural values of members of online communities

5. Critical Discourse Analysis ( Cda )
Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is an interdisciplinary approach, which has been further
developed on the basis of Discourse Analysis (DA) since 1970s. The insights have been expanded
into a broader range of social, cultural, psychological and political practices. It is regarded as the
textual study aiming to elucidate the abuses of power residing in the texts by analyzing
linguistic/semiotic remarks in accordance with the existing (social, political, cultural, etc.) contexts
in which those texts circulate (Wodak: 2001, 1–2; Fairclough: 1995; Huckin, Andrus, and Clary–
Lemon: 2012, 107; Rashidi and Souzandehfar: 2010, 56; Economou: 2009, 42). As many linguists
and scholars' engagement with the study of CDA, there already has been several schools or genres
with their representative figures. Although the history and development of CDA study is still a bit
premature and there is no distinct framework of wide–recogonition, according to van Dijk (2007),
there are mainly four approaches to it: 1) the Critical Linguistics (CL) developed by Fowler et al.
(1979; 1991; 1996), Kress (1985); sociocultural/socio–semiotic approach proposed by Fairclough
(1985; 1988; 1989; 1992; 1995; 2003; 2006); discourse–historical created by Wodak (1996, 2001)

Critical discourse analysis (CDA) refers to the use of an ensemble of techniques for the study of

engages in normative critique and judgement on both discourse and the society. The following essay

analysis for critical discourse analysis is the language. With various uses and functions, such as
academic discourse, media discourse, political discourse, and marketing discourse, it creates diverse

Meanwhile, CDA works as an effective method to educate people to achieve life equality.
As the aforementioned aims, CDA is a kind of academic activism which determines to tackle the
real problems which threaten the lives of many. With CDA, values are drawn and constructing the
society at the same time. It reproduces social dominations which is the power abuse of one group
over others. The structural understanding presupposes more general insights, and sometimes indirect
and long–term analyses of fundamental causes and consequences of such issues.
According to a CDA of Obama's Political Discourse done by Juraj Horváth, the key ideological
components of Obama's speech can be summarized into the concepts of pragmatism, liberalism,
inclusiveness, acceptance of religious and ethnic diversity and unity. Besides, the results of the
keyword analysis show the most prominent words employed by Obama are nation, new and
America, and an overall dominance of the personal pronoun "we". The analysis helps us better
understand the underlying theme of the speech, which is the need of inclusive perception, and the
notion of unity and brotherly love among the various members of the American diverse society.

4. Literature Review
4.1 Political Discourse:
Before venturing into a theory of metaphor, a definition of the term "discourse" is due. Barker and
Galasinki give a detailed account of the term's characteristics (2001). The first one of those features
is the socially constitutive nature of discourse (p. 64). Since discourse is basically a social practice,
language users employ it to construct social realities. Moreover, via use of discourse, patterns of
domination, power, and bias among others can be either consolidated or conversely redressed. In
other words, discourse can be used by language users as a means to promote the status quo or as a
way of resisting it (p. 65). Furthermore, discourse is presented as "a system of options" (p. 65), from
which language users make choices to create a representation of reality. The process of representing
reality is a selective one, that is, through the use of discourse each language user is capable of
deliberately concealing aspects of reality and revealing others. The last feature of discourse is its

"frames" as the "conceptual models" or slots into which the different lexemes fit. Describing entities

Reporting on Rape: A Critical Analysis of Discourse on the Bill Cosby Rape Allegations
1. Introduction
This paper will analyse newspaper discourse discussing the Bill Cosby rape allegations,
concentrating on the presentation of the participants, the alleged perpetrator, Bill Cosby, and the
alleged victim, Joan Tarshis. This topic was selected for analysis because, even though there have
been approximately 30 rape accusations, Cosby has so far not been proven guilty; since there is no
substantial proof of what happened, the topic is surrounded by a lot of speculation. This vagueness
allows for discourse creators with different ideologies to use contrasting ways of framing both
Cosby and the women accusing him, making this an interesting topic to research. This paper
attempts to examine whether ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
"Accuse" is a transitive verb that takes both an object and indirect object, meaning that she is
accusing someone of something. Again, this places agency and responsibility on Tarshis which
might make it seems as if she is purposely and solely speaking out to harm Cosby; instead of a
victim finally speaking out about an awful experience, she may come across as someone who is
trying to spite a celebrity in order to benefit from it. In the Los Angeles Times article, on the other
hand, Tarshis is described as having come forward to "tell her story". "Telling", in this case, is a
transitive verb that only needs a direct object; it therefore doesn't need Bill Cosby in the indirect
object slot where he is represented with a victim position, someone who something is being done to.
Moreover, "telling a story" also does not directly link her accusations to Bill Cosby. The "story" she
tells is obviously about him, but it makes it sound as if she is telling the story for her own benefit,

17. The Concept Of Abductive Methodology
Methodology
The concept of abductive methodology was originally introduced by Aristotle (Jan Svennevig),
however it was Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914) an American philosopher who developed it into
the theory of inference (Jan Svennevig). Charlse Peirce proposed that the traditional modes of
inference (induction and deduction) should be harmonized with a third mode (abduction) which he
said was qualitatively different from the other two (Jan Svennevig). Fisher considered significance
testing as inductive inference. He also argued that this approach (inductive inference) is the source
of all knowledge (As cited in Chong Ho Yu, 2005). Meanwhile Neyman was of the view that that
only deductive inference was appropriate in statistics as shown in his school of hypothesis testing
tradition (As cited in Chong Ho Yu, 2005). Both deductive and inductive methodologies have been
criticized for various limits such as their predisposition to explain details that should be better
understood, and their incompetence of creating new knowledge (Chong Ho Yu, 2005).
The hypothesis of the Peircean logical system viewed that one may say the logic of abduction and
deduction add to our conceptual understanding of a phenomena (Chong Ho Yu, 2005), while the
logic of induction provides empirical backing to conceptual knowledge (Chong Ho Yu, 2005). "In
other words, abduction, deduction, and induction work together to explore, refine and substantiate

political inequalities that exist in society. Fairclough (1995b) provides us with a useful definition

Methodology A critical discourse analysis framework News is manufactured industrially and deeply
influenced by the bureaucratic and economic structure of the media industry, by relations between
the media and other industries, and by relations with authoritative apparatuses and institutions such
as government. It reflects the prevailing values of a society in a particular historical context and
simultaneously shapes the society in return (Fowler, 1991/2013). Although we cannot simply
suggest an explicit causal relation between structurally determined material and symbolic resources
and the actual cultural practices, a pure linguistic analysis may still overlook the external constraints
and the effects of the cultural practices. The embryo of cultural studies finds its roots in the
historical context of a social structure shaped by industrial capitalism and the increasingly
commercialized system of cultural production, distribution, and consumption. To some extent, the
reference to power and struggle, domination and subordinations is the mantra to sustain and
legitimatize the existing cultural studies literature (N. Graham, 1999). While avoiding the notion
that Marxism and cultural studies form immediate affinity, cultural studies still has to establish itself
as a 'worldly' vocation by coping with the tension between the study of the text and its affiliations
with institutions, classes, nations, races, and genders, and etc. (Hall, 1999a). The representation of

Advertisements : How do they persuade us ?
Advertisements are part and parcel of our lives. Perhaps, they are one of the most decisive and, at
the same time, imperceptible factors moulding and channelling our "purchasing habits," so to speak.
On the face of it, advertisements promote products and services; they create demand by dint of
inducing and increasing consumption. Yet, the ways in which they convey their messages have a
profound effect on all aspects of our lives: our happiness, our culture, family and interpersonal
relations, business, stereotypes, wealth and status, individuality, and so forth. According to Leiss et
al. (1990: 1), advertising is 'a "privileged form of discourse"', in that it can attract our attention, ...

Many people would, at this juncture, hasten to defend advertising on the grounds that the consumer
is a rational decision maker who avails herself of technology; advertising cannot create new needs
but can only help increase or speed up consumption (Schudson, 1984, cited in Leiss et al., 1990:
36); and without the help of advertising, consumers would have limited information about the
products circulating around them. What they lose sight of, though, is the fact that '[w]e never relate
to goods only for their plain utility; there is always a symbolic aspect to our interactions with them'
(Leiss et al., 1990: 45). Now that we have briefly outlined the "state of the art," we move on to the
actual study of advertisements and the ways in which they persuade us. There are many approaches
to this end, but we will draw upon two: semiology, or the study of signs, and content analysis.
Semiology, on the one hand, is concerned with the emergence and "movement" of meaning within
the text and between the text and the world surrounding it. Content analysis, on the other, focuses on
the surface meaning of an ad, detecting similarities and differences. Indisputably, the growing
predominance of visuals in ads has resulted in a kind of ambiguity of meaning, which renders the

the critical theory of the Frankfurt School where social theory should be oriented towards critiquing

LITERATURE REVIEW
Theories included in the research were theory of representation, Barthes semiotics, Bühler Organon
model, theory of advertisement discourse, and critical discourse analysis theory. Theory of
representation is crucial here because the fundamental aim of the research is to look at how
Indonesia is represented in the tourism advertisement to be further analyzed and criticized.
Representation is one of central practices in a process named by du Gay, Hall et al. as the 'circuit of
culture'. Representation is furthermore defined by Hall as "an essential part of the process by which
meaning is produced and exchanged between members of a culture" (Hall, 1997). Hall also defined
it as the use of language to deliver or communicate something with meanings to other people.

According to Fairclough (1995), critical discourse analysis is discourse analysis which aims to
systematically observe causality between discourse practice and wider socio–cultural structure.
Besides, it also aims to seek how the relation is influenced and how the ideology is formed by power
in society (p.132). In short, a result of a critical discourse analysis exposes an implicit message or
meaning beneath a discourse. In this research, the implicit meaning is how Indonesia is represented
in a tourism advertisement. In critical discourse analysis, there are theorists who have focused and
systematic frameworks on genre and socio–semantic representation within a discourse, but there are
also those who combine various kinds of research methodologies (Blommaert & Bulcaen, 2008). In
this research, the method utilized is communicative event analysis, which is part of Norman
Fairclough's critical discourse analysis framework. Communicative event analysis observes a

Corpus linguistics
Corpus Linguistics (CL) is a method of operating linguistic analysis (McEnery & Wilson, 2001, p1)
that "facilitates empirical descriptions of language use" (Biber, 2011, p15). This method is based on
analysis of 'Corpus' ,which is a sample of different kinds of texts, such as newspaper texts, or
specifically editorials, video scripts, everyday conversation and many other types of written
language (Baker, 2012, p248). Corpus Linguistics tries to establish a balanced corpus _Latin form of
body_ of language in order to represent variety of language, so that no single type of writing over–
represented. Corpus Linguistics has become popular since 1990. Hence, "it is often describe as

point of fact, repeated patterns expose that evaluative meanings are not simply personal, but

1. Introduction There are numerous routes in which a specific methodology in the sociologies can be
presented and clarified. One of these is through explicative contrast from fairly comparable
methodologies. The expression 'Conversation Analysis' is at this point solidly settled as the name for
a specific worldview in the investigation of verbal communication that was started in the 1960s by
Harvey Sacks, as a team with Emanuel Schegloff and Gail Jefferson. In Conversation Analysis the
attention is on the procedural examination of talk–in–cooperation, how members deliberately sort
out their connections to take care of a scope of authoritative issues, for example, the dispersion of
turns at talking, the community oriented creation of specific activities, or issues of comprehension.
The investigation is constantly in view of sound or visual recordings of collaboration, which are
precisely interpreted in subtle elements. The exploration ought to be data driven, as in ideas and
speculations ought to be founded on watchful thoughts of the information, recordings and
transcripts, as opposed to drawn from hypothetical assumptions or ideological inclinations. While
initially imagined from a sociological point of view, Conversation Analysis picked up a far reaching

Discourse analysis is the in–depth, critical analysis of the social interactions within the collected
data. It is seen as a way of thinking about the discussed issue. This methodology is an action–based
as it acts to construct meanings from the social contexts in which the collected data is created
(Sargent & Harcourt, 2012). In this research, there are some steps that need to be followed in order
to achieve the discourse analysis. First, closer examination of the data will lead to discovering the
functions and the consequences of the discourse (which is the inclusive education). For example, it

The period under investigation covers conflict in Kosovo, the Afghanistan intervention after the
World Trade Centre attack in New York, and Iraq intervention. Although the findings of the study
identified immediate word–collocations for intervention (adjectives UN–sanctioned, forceful, verbs
oppose, justify, and such proper names as Chechnya and Somalia) the word itself is not very
frequent in the corpus, which suggests a specific meaning of this term. Mass media preferred using
other 'more palpable' words instead, such as troops, forces, strikes, attack, which were regarded by
authors as constituents of intervention. Europe was usually mentioned in the collocation with modal
verbs could, should or must which clearly reflects the obligation or possibility of actions required
from the European Union. The frequent occurrence of European failures or European incapacities,
obviously, shows the negative attitude towards the EU policy. Even though the current research did
not use probes, this study is significant to it, because it also looked at the collocations of the most
frequent words in the media–based corpora in the conflict discourse and attempted to reveal the
attitude these collocates represent. Such lexical items as verbs, nouns and adjectives were of great
importance in the analysis.

there are three distinguished approaches to courtroom argumentation studies: the logical, the

46. Critical Discourse Analysis For An International Crisis...
Methodology
Critical discourse analysis
For an international crisis happening thousands miles away, it is not sufficient to be understood
without acknowledging itself as a mediated complex. From critical linguistics perspective, Fowler
(1991/2013) believes "news is socially constructed. What events are reported is not a reflection of
intrinsic importance of those events, but reveals the operation of a complex and artificial set of
criteria for selection" (p. 2). "The news media select events for reporting according to a complex set
of criteria of newsworthiness; so news is not simply that which happens, but that which can be
regarded and presented as newsworthy" (p.13).
Filtered by the latent criteria, the final representation of Hong Kong protests in Canadian press is the
outcome of social inclusion and exclusion. In Fowler's sense, representation is a constructive
practice. Hong Kong protests are not communicated neutrally in natural structure per se. Instead,
they were transmitted through the Canadian press with its own structural features permeated by
Canadian social values. The discourse of Hong Kong protests reflects "the social actions
accomplished by language users when they communicate in social situations and within society and
culture at large" (van Dijk, 1997, pp. 13–14).
So to speak, studying how the protests were represented requires not only analyzing texts or

approach to texts societal elements affect personhood via discourse. Through his exploration of how
the New Capitalism imposes constraints on individuals and societies, Fairclough argues that all
people have agency although it is limited by social structures that are imposed on them. Social
agents have the ability to "texture texts" and to "set up relations between elements of texts" (p. 22).

9). The concept of intertextuality provides important analytic insights into comprehending the use of
repetition, which is one of the main foci in the book. Drawing upon Friedrich's (1986) notion of
individual imagination, Tannen proposes that communication occurs when individuals activate their
imagination to make sense of another's speech. In other words, it is through the processes of
individual imagination that people construct knowledge as well as emotions. The details and images
produced by one's speech generate sounds and scenes associated with emotions in others' minds
which enable them to create a shared meaning. This shared meaning then creates a community
where individuals are united in relationships. Within and across different communities, Tannen
argues that one's identities are socially constructed through the joint production of meaning and
relationships between interlocutor(s) and interactant(s). Examining the notion of intertextuality and
the essential relationality of meaning in language, Tannen proposes the need to consider identity
construction as social and interactional processes. Talking Voices: Repetition, Dialogue, and

50. Critical Cuistice Analysis, The Study Of Language
According to Hugh Trappes–Lomax (2004), discourse analysis is the study of language that is
viewed communicatively or the study of communication that is viewed linguistically. Under the
discourse analysis, the analysts analyse the concepts of "language in use, the language above or
beyond the sentence, language as meaning in interaction, and language in situational and cultural
context". By carrying out the discourse analysis, the analysts seek to explore the relation that exists
between the various elements that are present in the situation; such as the participants of the
conversation, the cultural backgrounds of the participants, the relationship between the participants,
the setting of the conversation/discourse, the situation and the linguistic choices that are made in the
process of the discourse (Dijk, 1995). Though discourse analysis cannot be tied down to a single

52. Racism And Ethnic Discrimination : A Public Health...
Introduction
Health inequities are defined as "differences which are unnecessary and avoidable, but in addition
are considered unfair and unjust" (Whitehead 1992, p.431). Numerous studies provide evidence of
deep seated and continued health inequities between Maori and non–Maori in Aoteroa/ New
Zealand (McCreanor 2008). The role of social, political, environmental and economic factors have
in determining health outcomes for individuals and social groups is increasingly being recognised
globally. These factors include determinants such as housing, education, employment status,
income, deprivation and racism (Robson & Harris 2007). There is increasing body of evidence that
show that racism and ethnic discrimination negatively impact the health and well–being of
individuals and ethnic groups (Gee 2002). Based on these findings, many researchers have proposed
that programmes targeted at reducing racism are a public health measures that could mitigate health
inequities (McKenzie 2003).
Mass media is extremely powerful institution that massively influences all areas of social
interactions (Rosenberg 2002, cited in McCreanor 2008). It shapes the ideological patterns and what
is regarded as norm, 'commonsense' by its audience (McCreanor 1993). In Aoteroa New Zealand,
racism in the media and the negative representations of Maori raises great concern, as it affects
Maori/Pakeha relations, Maori self perception, and ultimately undermines Maori health and

54. Difference Between Cohesion And Cohesion
.Theoretical part 1. Scope of the study
Language is not realized by some unrelated sentences but by varying number of utterances. The
stretch of language may be spoken or written. Cohesion therefore is the glue that holds words
together. In other words, if an essay is cohesive, it sticks together from sentence to sentence and
from paragraph to paragraph. A speaker of English who hears or reads a passage of the language
which is more than one sentence in length can normally decide without difficulty whether it forms a
unified whole or it is just a collection of unrelated sentences. Thus a unified text is achieved by the
use of cohesive devices. The scope of the study focuses on articles of the writers; Ammar Ali and

This relation has been referred to as a superordinate or hyponomic relation in most of the earlier
studies or inclusion: specific–general by McCarthy (P.57)
The second major element of lexical cohesion is collocation.(
Nunan1993, P.29) declared that collocation can cause problems for discourse analysis, because it
includes semantically related item and this makes it difficult to determine if there is any cohesive tie
or not. Much linguistics refuses to deal with collocation because of this.
Grammatical cohesion Any discourse must be related not only lexically but also grammatically.
(McCarthy, 1991, 34–35) says that grammatical cohesion is the surface in written discourse.it is
displayed by spoken and written discourses and those links are classified into three categories:
references, ellipsis, substitution and conjunction.Grammatical cohesion is divided into references,
ellipsis, substitution and conjunction. According to Brown and Yule (1983), the traditional semantic
of reference is that its relationship is held between expressions in text and the world, and between
different parts of text. There is a different account of the co–reference relation, paying attention to

56. Examples Of Critical Discourse Analysis
CHAPTER 2
THEORITICAL FOUNDATION
2.1 Critical Discourse Analysis
To understand the concept of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), it is necessary to see how CDA
defines discourse. Discourse is not simply an isolated textual or dialogical structure (van Dijk,
1988). It is seen as socially constructed ways that do not only shape but also enable (social) reality
(Foucault, 1977; Paltridge, 2006). It involves "a dialectical relationship between a particular
discursive event and the situation(s), institution(s), and social structure(s) which frame it"
(Fairclough & Wodak, 1997, p. 258). It also helps to establish power relations between social
classes, gender, or majorities and minorities groups (Wodak & Meyer, 2009). Therefore, CDA acts
as an approach that critically investigates the relationship between discourse and the reproduction of
power in social practices and interactions (Fairclough, 1995 as cited ... Show more content on

Therefore, one of the distinguishing features of DHA is its interdisciplinary method that considers a
variety of different empirical data and background information (Reisigl & Wodak, 2001).
The historical dimension is realized by collecting all information regarding the historical
background and the original sources of the object under investigation and exploring diachronic
change (Matouschek et al. 1995; Wodak et al., 1990, 1994 as cited in van Leeuwen & Wodak, 1999).
Specifically, the process of analysis in DHA starts by describing the phenomena occurred in texts.
Then, describing the apparent changes. Finally, discussing the result to find how and why change

Social communication is increasingly becoming a subject of scientists' discussions from different

as well as the language as a socio–cultural activity. In this sense, discourse, on one hand, reflects the
social reality, on the other hand, it shapes it, therefore participate in the creation and pass on
different values, ideologies and symbolic power. This essay aims to show the definition of Critical
Discourse Analysis and also show how useful it is for exploring issues of power and inequality in
relation to gender. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
As pointed out by van Dijk (1993) one of the key objectives of the Critical Discourse Analysis is
also the understanding of the nature of power and domination. In his view, power is based on
privileged access to social resources, is widely considered as securities, such as wealth, income,
position, status, group membership, education and knowledge. However, dominance is defined as
the use of social power by elites, institutions or groups, contributing to the emergence of social
inequality (including – in political, cultural, class, ethnic, racial, and gender). The task of CDA is
then highlighting the role of discourse in the producing domination.
According to 'Studying the Media' dictionary, the complete and very well summing everything up
definition of Critical Discourse Analysis is:
'...a means of analysing texts based on linguistics and in recent times the theories of Foucault.
Discourse analysis identifies the culturally and socially produced sets of ideas and values that
structure texts and representations. It helps to identify abstract and ideological assumptions about
the world that may be implicitly contained in particular texts.'
Fairclough developed a three–dimensional framework for studying discourse, where the aim is to
map three separate forms of analysis onto one another: analysis of (spoken or written) language
texts, analysis of discourse practice (processes of text production, distribution and

Introduction
English Language Learners (hereafter referred to as ELLs) currently comprise 10% of the total
school population in the United States (National Center for Education Statistics, 2005). It is a
population that is going to continue to increase in American public education and their specific
needs for learning literacy are of great importance to teachers. Since schools and teachers are
increasingly judged based upon the academic achievement of students, then the success of the
growing population of ELLs is going to be increasingly important. In the present paper the role of

She did this based on a belief that it would help ELLs and non–ELLs alike. The students in the
second class reported that classmates were "friendly and nice" and the teacher "likes other cultures."
The results of this study indicate the very important role that a teacher plays in creating and
modeling an atmosphere where ELLs are accepted, encouraged and participatory in a learning
community. Next, the topic of Primary Discourse was investigated in a research article by Mays
(2008). Mays articulates that the discourse, or language used in the curriculums and assessments, is
so different from the primary discourse that young learners have been exposed to, that minority and
ELL students are overrepresented in "at–risk," "developmentally delayed," and "not ready to learn"
groups. Being put in these groups puts that at a disadvantage in acquiring literacy skills. Mays cited
"Discourses (capital "D") are ways of combining and coordinating words, deeds, thoughts, values,
bodies, objects, tools, and technologies, and other people (at the appropriate time and places) so as
to enact and recognize the specific socially situated identities and activities. (Gee, 2001, p.71) Many
teachers use curriculums that were designed from a "white, middle class, 'mainstream' model" and
this creates challenges for ELLs from diverse backgrounds to achieve success. The role of the

64. Critical Discourse Analysis Of CDA
Methodology
Critical Discourse Analysis
In writing this paper, the writer derives the theory from Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), which is
an approach to the analysis of discourse which maintains that, language is a social practice and
analyses how ideologies and power relations are approached in language (Fairclough & Wodak,
1997, p 258; Lin & Guo, 2016). Fowler and Kress, 1979; Van Dijk, 1993, 1983; Fairclough &
Wodak, 1997; Wodak & Meyer, 2009, and Foucault, 1972, are among theorists who have made great
contribution to the development and implementation of CDA. It is worth taking into account that
CDA has its roots in Critical Linguistics and can be taken as a development of Critical Linguistics
(Hailong, 2006). Language and Control (Fowler & ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

the original structures of ethnic approaches' (Van Dijk, 1997, p42).
According to Van Dijk (2006) extended endeavor on racism and discourse, concludes that common
racism and negative attitudes are derivative of elite racist discourse. In other words, the role of elites
in the 'discursive reproduction processes of the system of racism' is prominent (Van Dijk, 1997,
p32). Numbers of the prejudicial beliefs and attitudes of the public are originated from their
understanding of elite discourse in the form of textbooks, massages, media, political discourse, and
corporative discourse (Van Dijk, 1983: p23).

In the present essay, we have seen how linguistic ethnographers Blommaert and

Besides the more technical aspects, we have seen that in both accounts, language plays a crucial role
in the reproduction of inequality and some sociologic and ethnographic concepts, when applied to
observation of linguistic forms, can help to grasp the larger structures regimenting institutional
practices.

68. Descriptive Approaches In International Relations
From a conceptual point of view, discourse analysis in international relations has outlined a common
set of standards for the other fields of language and social sciences. Discourse is a rather new field
of analysis in the world of social research, and it does not yet have a precise and compact theoretical
body. Accordingly, discourse analysis has to rely on the practices and concepts taken from other
fields such as sociology, semantics, psychology, linguistics etc. Due to its vast source of knowledge,
discourse has analytical richness in its field. In the study of international relations, three types of
discursive approaches are considered, which are – descriptive approaches, autonomous approaches,
and functionalist approaches. Autonomous approaches have no established relations with each other,
but separately they provide a significant contribution to the study of discourse (Obeng and
Hartford). The descriptive analysis approaches are a set of explanatory perspectives that are based

Mental representation in Critical Discourse Analysis
Levels of analysis
This phrase is applied to social sciences to point to the location, size or scale of a research target. It
is unique from the term 'unit of observation" as the former relates to an integrated set of
relationships while the latter is about the distinct unit from which data will be gathered. The levels
of analysis are not mutually exclusive but an in critical discuss analysis research generally falls
under micro level and the macro level of analysis.
Macro versus micro level of analysis
The usage of language, discourse communication, and verbal interaction belong to the micro level of
the social order. On the other hand, powered, dominance and inequality between social groups are
concepts that relate to the macro level of analysis. Critical discourse analysis bridges the gap
between the micro and macro level of analysis that get to be a sociological construct in its own right.
The macro and micro levels of interactions integrate into being one whole that is unified. For
example, a racist remark in parliament is a discourse at the micro level of the social interaction but
at the same time, it may also constitute a part of legislation or reproduction at racism at the macro
level. The language of thought hypothesis(LOTH) states that the nature of thought and thinking is
undertaken in a mental language i.e. it is done in a symbolic system that is physically realized in the
brain of Humans. Critical

74. Advantages Of Conversation Analysis
What is a conversation? A conversation is referred to as a spontaneous, impromptu, everyday
exchange of talk between two or more individuals. The participants in a conversation take turns and
during their turn each makes a conversational move of some kind, this is seen as a form of
sociability and reflects an individual's ability and willingness to interact with others. People gather
their construction of a conversation together, cooperatively, and they deal with the gatherings of the
conversation at local level, one utterance at a time (Parker 1999).
Conversation analysis is an approach to the study of human interaction in society which embraces
verbal and nonverbal conduct in situations of everyday interchanges. There may be a misinformed
view that this analysis only focuses on the sociable nature of the conversation, but in reality, it
encompasses conversations of all sorts, from informal and formal to technologically mediated
conversations. Conversation analysis is broad in scope but one of the things that differentiate ...

It does not use coded or summarised representations, but rather analyses detailed audio or video
recordings of interactional activities and detailed transcripts. Another benefit of using conversation
analysis, it focuses on naturally occurring data and not conversations that are manipulated as
mentioned prior. However, there are limitations to this approach as well such as the fact that it can
be time consuming and therefore requires a great deal of patience and dedication to go through
numerous and long transcripts of conversations. It can also be costly. Often it also requires
specialised training in the Conversation Analysis methodology if it is going to be done well. This
analytic approach is also very sensitive to misinterpretation and over interpretation therefore
member checking becomes very crucial (LaVelle

76. Link Between Cartoon And Caricature
Introduction
Cartoon or political genre depicts human's artistic ability of transforming ideas and knowledge into
pictures of his own choice. In the literature the terms cartoon and caricature are used
interchangeably and indiscriminately, which creates confusion. What then is the distinction between
a cartoon and a caricature? Historically, cartoon refers to the preparatory designs for a large drawing
or painting (Coupe 1967). The link between these two concepts can be traced back to 1843 when
John Leech described as cartoons the parodies he drew of the cartoons for the frescos in the Houses
of Parliament, London (Coup 1969). Streicher(1967) continues 'that what in literature is satire, in
pictorial art is caricature, satire typically deals with demonstration and exposure of human vices or
follies in order to scorn or ridicule humans; graphic caricatures ridicule pictorially.' In political ...

Using cartoons as a medium of communication some humor and criticism is depicted through
various genres to establish an understanding of each political party's role, goals and purposes for
future agendas. Genres signify and explain the concepts and constructs associations with political
cartoons and the represented party.
Literature Review
Political cartoons dates back from the ancient Egypt (1360, B.C) Johnson (193) culture with human
and animal caricatures painted on the walls. Magazines and newspapers have been printing this
particular genre for over two hundred years–yet. No single study has eminently conducted the
perceptions, psyche and mental capacity and decoded messages through genres (Diamond, 2002).
Many scholars (DeSousa & Medhurst (1982), Edward, (1997); Ketzle&

78. Metapragmatic Emotions In Pragmatics
In her article, Spencer–Oatey (2011) states the increasing focus on "the relational" in pragmatics.
There are various terms used when analyzing the interpersonal relations and thus she first tries to
evaluate this terminology confusion in a critical way. Because she believes that although researchers
may disagree whether we should focus on the words of participants or analysts, metapragmatic
emotion and (im)politeness comments should be analyzed, she reports a workplace project
partnership study.
One of her aims in the study is to address the lack of what is meant by "relational" since there are
not many studies concerning the similarities and differences between the variations about "the
relational". Another point that was stated which needs to be addressed was who of "the relations",
whys of it, and the basis of relational sensitivity.

The study basically aimed to shed light on these points using an analysis of metapragmatic emotion
comments of people in an international project program to analyze and have a better understanding

workplace. Since we are living in a globalized world working on internationally based projects has
been becoming more popular day by day and managing the interpersonal relations is a necessity in
