Interpretive Framework

AbstractDiscourses on terror have been encrypted in the events of 9/11 in 2001 perhaps more than any single event since the end of the Cold War. Even though these discourses are projected as a global phenomenon, very few studies have analysed how they are framed by non-U.S. actors, especially by al-Qaeda and to some extent al-Shabaab. An analysis of discourses of terror by al-Qaeda is invaluable in determining how the U.S. is represented from the perspectives of the “other.” Using Critical Discourse Analysis as an analytic and interpretive framework, this article analyses al-Qaeda declassified intelligence reports captured by the U.S. in order to establish a view of “terror” from an al-Qaeda insider perspective. The article argues that there is a convergence of ideas and overlap in terms of the discourses of terror between the U.S. and al-Qaeda, which is ironic because of the firm distinction made by the U.S. government between “us” – the civilized nations – and “them” – the barbarian, evil murderers of innocent civilians.

Using the methodology of critical discourse analysis, this research project analysed 70 news media articles from the Globe and Mail and the National Post on the topic of asylum seekers who crossed into Canada from the U.S. between ports of entry in 2017 and 2018. Analysis revealed that asylum seekers were largely depicted, portrayed, and framed in problematizing ways, leading to their dehumanization and a decontextualization of the larger issues.

Invasion Of Iraq

This study examines how the pre-war debate of the U.S. decision to invade Iraq was discursively constructed in pro- and anti-war newspaper op/ed argumentation. Drawing on insights from argumentation theory, and using these within a framework of Critical Discourse Analysis, we explore fallacious arguments within the ‘justification discourse’ used in the pro-war opinion/editorials (op/eds). We argue that the type of arguments marshalled by the pro-war op/ed commentators uncritically bolstered the set of U.S. official ‘truth claims’ and ‘presuppositions’. Conversely, anti-war op/ed debaters dismissed the Bush administration’s ‘neo-imperialistic’ reasoning and called into question the logic of militarist ‘humanitarianism’ by arguing that brute force and daylight ‘plunder,’ found in the language of a ‘noble ideal,’ were part of a long Western colonialist tradition that glorified the West as the ‘civiliser’ of distant cultural others.

Discourse Strategy

ABSTRACT Knowledge, attitudes, values, norms or ideology are all personal representations and social representations. Each text will never be separated from personal and social representation. Using Critical Discourse Analysis, this article aims to reveal the discourse strategies used by the dialogue writers of the film The Great Debaters. To elaborate, the writer will use several steps, namely analyzing the macro structure, micro structure including the Description of Actors and Events and Interpretation of Racism Discourse in the United States. Based on the overall strategy of composing the dialogue text it can be concluded that Harpo Production is not neutral. Discourse compilation strategy is applied consciously by the parties involved in the scenario processing. It was found that the discourse strategy reflected the alignment of certain discourse stakeholders, namely the African-American community.

The aim of this research is to investigate the ideology manifestation of each political party (Republican and Democratic) with respect to the current issue of social, economy, politics, education, and foreign policy of the U.S. through the analysis of positive-self and negative-other presentation in the announcement speeches delivered by the candidates who run for the 2016 U.S. Presidential bid. Besides, this study also aims at investigating how the candidates from each party try to justify themselves and persuade the audience to win their consensus. The four candidates whose speeches being analyzed are Hillary Rodham Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump, and Ben Carson. The research was conducted under the theory of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) proposed by Dijk and Wodak. The result shows that the positive-self and negative-other presentation performed by the candidates through p r e d i c a t i o n a l , r e f e r e n t i a l / n o m i n a t i o n , a r g u m e n t a t i o n , p e r s p e c t i v a t i o n , and i n t e n s i f y i n g s t r a t e g i e s . The presence of positive-self and negative-other presentation indicate that the manifestation of ideology in political speech is possible to be delivered through implicit assumptions and evaluative attributions.
