"Yes we can" or "Make America great again" : comparison of representations in Barack Obama and Donald Trump's inaugural addresses

2017

Kielellä ja kielenkäyttötavoilla, diskursseilla, on suuria vaikutuksia ihmisten asenteisiin, toimintatapoihin ja tapaan nähdä maailma. Erityisesti poliittiset diskurssit ovat merkittävä tutkimuksen kohde, sillä ne saavuttavat usein suuren yleisön. Koska poliitikoilla on näkyvä rooli yhteiskunnassa, on tärkeää tutkia, millaisia asenteita, ideologioita ja arvoja he levittävät puheidensa välityksellä. Tätä teemaa voidaan tarkastella hyödyntäen kriittistä diskurssianalyysia, jonka avulla usein tarkastellaan eriarvoisuutta ja vallan väärinkäyttöä. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää, millaisia representaatioita Barack Obama ja Donald Trump loivat eri ihmisryhmistä virkaanastujaispuheiss…

Political Discourse as Culture and Ideology

2009

This book explores the way in which pronominal relations and rhetorical strategies in political discourse determine the relationship speaker/audience, thus conditioning both the discourse organizational structures and the development of ideological content. The texts themselves are analysed from three different points of view: (i) in terms of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA); (ii) in terms of rhetorical analysis; (iii) in terms of ideological content. More specifically, the intergration of rhetorical analysis into Critical Discourse Analysis is relevant and allows us to understand the realationship between linguistic structures on the one hand, and how these structures are designed to infl…

Reading figurative images in the political discourse of the British Press

2017

The present work aims to study visual metaphors and multimodal metaphors in the political cartoons published in the British press during the Brexit campaign. The theoretical approach adopted draws upon the theories elaborated by Halliday (), Forceville (; ), Ruiz de Mendoza and Diez (), and Hart (), with the objective of identifying the three analytical steps that lead to the conceptual frames structuring the political event under investigation. Results show the extent to which the visual representation of the Brexit campaign proposes novel and original perspectives of interpretation, and further evidence of the relevance of metaphors and metonymies in the narration of e…

Apvienotās karalistes politisko partiju (Leiboristu partijas un Apvienotās Karalistes Neatkarības partijas) pretimigrācijas retoriku salīdzinošā anal…

2015

Apvienotā Karaliste ir iecienīts imigrantu galamērķis jau kopš 20.gs. sākuma, taču no brīža, kad Apvienotā Karaliste īstenoja Eiropas Savienības noteikumu par darba ņēmēju brīvu pārvietošanos visā Eiropas Savienības teritorijā, imigrācijas problēma ir kļuvusi daudz aktuālāka sabiedrības vidū, kas ir iemesls partiju imigrācijas retoriku atspoguļošanai politisko partiju programmās un partiju viedokļu apmaiņai medijos, kā arī daudz mūsdienīgākā pieejā – mājaslapās, blogu ierakstos un sociālo portālu publikācijās. Tika analizētas divas partijas – Leiboristu partija un Apvienotās Karalistes Neatkarības partija, to publicētās partiju programmas, blogu ieraksti partiju mājaslapās un preses relīzes…

Formuliranje politike u promjenjivim uvjetima vlasti: kako izučavati sigurnosnu politiku tijekom njezina formuliranja

2008

The purpose of this paper is to deliberate the making of security policy in the EU-context, where national security discourse will increasingly face needs and demands to be melt together with a new kind of security discourse and policy of mainland Europe. By taking the viewpoint of a citizen of a modern nation-state, this paper wants to open the question of how citizens and their values are positioned in relation to the modern state and its security policy within this progress. In particular, as the two latter concepts are in motion towards some new essence. This article claims that the ongoing shaping of the new European security discourse, and values it is argued to contain, appears to ci…

Managing Relations: a study of positioning strategies in British international discourse

2008

This work deals with corpus-assisted research into speaker ideological positioning in the language of diplomacy. It concentrates on the resources used by the foreign minister Margaret Beckett to construe the speaker “orientation” (Lemke 1992) through the analysis of the main participant in the discourse that is international community and the subject matter being debated namely terrorism. The findings have shown assertiveness and determination from the speaker by the use of contractive mechanisms. The image of the international community is based on cooperation and unity just like a family and it is appraised mainly through judgements of tenacity. These are the resources required to fight t…

"I'm telling you, if I was a single man, none of this would be happening" : representation of Miranda Hobbes in the television series Sex and the City

2016

Medialla ja etenkin televisiosarjoilla on merkittävä rooli naisten representaatioiden luomisessa. Sarjojen ja elokuvien katselu on moninaistunut uusien teknologisten laitteiden ja katselupalveluiden avulla avaten uusia katselumahdollisuuksia, jotka eivät ole riippuvaisia ajasta ja paikasta. Median tuottamien representaatioiden tarkoitus on luoda tiettyjä naiskuvia, joihin naiskatsojat voisivat ja haluaisivat samaistua. Tämä tutkielma käsittelee Sex and the City –sarjan Miranda Hobbesin representaatiota postfeministisen sankarittaren näkökulmasta. Valitsin Mirandan hahmon tutkimukseni kohteeksi, sillä hänen hahmoaan ei ollut juurikaan tutkittu aikaisemmin postfeminismin näkökulmasta. Halusin…

A faceless threat or vulnerable individuals? : the representations of refugees in British newspapers during the European refugee crisis

2017

Pakolaisuus on hyvin ajankohtainen ja vakava ilmiö, joka tuo mukanaan moraalisia velvollisuuksia, taloudellisia haasteita sekä kysymyksiä tasa-arvon ja ihmisoikeuksien toteutumisesta. Vuonna 2015 alkaneen Euroopan pakolaiskriisin vuoksi pakolaiset ovat olleet jatkuvasti uutisotsikoissa. Maahanmuuton räjähdysmäinen kasvu on saanut aikaan voimakkaita reaktioita aiheuttaen sekä solidaarisuutta että ennakkoluulojen siivittämää vastustusta. Median rooli ilmiössä on valtava, sillä se ilmaisee, muokkaa ja vahvistaa ihmisten asenteita ja mielikuvia. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää miten pakolaisia representoidaan brittiläisissä sanomalehdissä, pyrkien paljastamaan mahdollista negatiivi…

Time Deixis in Engineering Discourse

2021

Nowadays, it has become commonly accepted that the meaning of linguistic elements is interconnected with the context of their use. Deixis is one of the classical pragmatic phenomena that illustrates that context-dependence is inherent in language as meaning of deictic expressions cannot be constructed without the identification of the speech event where these expressions occurred. The present article discusses cases of time deixis in the context of engineering discourse. The goal of the research is to demonstrate how the deictic expression use in different genres of professional discourse impacts meaning construction. The study deals with the data obtained from scientific articles, encyclop…

Traducción e ideología en Legiones y Falanges/Legioni e Falangi

2019

This paper aims to demonstrate the link between the press and the diffusion of an ideology through the practice of translation, as the discursive product of a complex communicative situation, conditioned by the contexts of the author, the translator and the recipient of the translation given that the context determines the identity of the locutors, a translation always reflects an ideology, a “socially shared belief system” by the members of a “collective of social actors” (van dijk, 2005: 10) This paper will explore how the translator selects the discursive substance according to the ideology of the elites of the totalitarian power, who exploit discourse as an instrument to influence the b…
