“…With respect to how Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) works, Alrefaee et al (2019) explains that the invisible meanings of texts in printed media are social structures. Herman and Chomsky (1988) introduce the propaganda model having roots in Walter Lippmann's theories on how the media influence the public through propaganda, Herman and Chomsky go one step further to explain how propaganda works in modern democracies today.…”

The current study attempted to explore the representation of Yemen war in ideologically loaded composition of Western, Arab, and Iranian newspapers headlines. It is basically a qualitative study in its nature. Fifty-seven headlines constituted the corpus of study. Therefore, the corpus included three Iranian newspapers, five Arab newspapers, and three Western newspapers, respectively. The headlines were mainly selected between 30 October 2014 and 1 May 2019 and were from the Arabian Peninsula, Iran, the US, and the UK. Norman Fairclough's three-dimensional model was applied to engage the themes put across in the course of participants-processes' representation regarding civilians casualties in particular in Yemen war. The findings of the study showed that both Western and Arab newspapers view the Houthis as rebels, and that the kingdom of Saudi Arabia claims to play a defensive role against Houthis (rebels) who are allegedly threatening its national security. In different circumstances, Iran does not only introduce the Westerners and Saudis as unwanted imperialists in the region, but also supports diplomatic means by criticizing the military actions and urging all conflict sides to find a diplomatic solution. Moreover, the probability of the conflicting discourses

“…This shows the impartialness approach created by the New York Times in dealing with such events as compared with Dawn. Alrefaee et al (2019) have revealed the representation of two newspapers events for serving the ideology and objective of Yemen. The authors have claimed that the agency of procedures is highly mystified by printed materials through different strategies including passivation and nominalization.…”

This study assesses the reflection of Middle Eastern media networks on the states and the news concerning the oil crisis and Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) conditions. A critical discourse analysis approach is adopted to analyze 22 articles from Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya regarding the Qatar withdrawal from OPEC. The ideological choices vary as Al Jazeera is focused on the Qatar economy, while Al Arabiya on Saudi Arabia. These online publications have presented a positive self-presentation of their funded country while the negative representation of the other. Al Jazeera has pointed that the exit of Qatar from the OPEC is to focus on its other non–oil production sector, while Al Arabiya has pointed that this exit is due to the primary role of Saudi Arabia, with which Qatar has an on-going conflict. Qatar is symbolic to broaden regional division, which may later diffuse to other OPEC members and will leave no mark on the decision-making process of the alliance.

“…An approach of discourse analysis which is suitable in examining the usage of language in politics is critical discourse analysis (CDA). It primarily focuses on the influence of social inequalities, ideology and power relations and their discursive features (Autida-van der Zee, 2013; Alrefaee et al, 2019). That is, language and power are inextricably linked.…”

This descriptive qualitative study seeks to unravel the microstructure elements of the interviews of President Rodrigo Duterte and how he represents himself and his opponents using political discourse analysis. The corpora consisted of his 30 recent interviews at the time of writing this paper and were retrieved in an online archive of the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO). The findings indicated that Duterte’s discourse has these various linguistic features: modality, attributions, disclaimer, presuppositions, validity claims, pronoun use, transitivity, passivation, number of game, lexicon, idioms, metaphors, intertextuality, and profanity. The study revealed that Duterte manipulatively uses language to reflect a positive representation of himself and negative representation of others, legitimizing his authority and delegitimizing those in opposition.
