“…Together, the keywords of the two corpora provide the general insights to the choice and patterns of language use in the representation of the conflicts. They are also useful for identifying similarities or differences especially with regard to key issues about the conflict, as well as enabling the exploration of terms that have been found to be ideologically salient (Kania, 2019).…”

This corpus-based discourse study briefly reviews the activities of Boko Haram and the conflict between the nomadic herdsmen and sedentary agrarian farmers of north-central and southern Nigeria. But the study focuses on the representations of the main actors in the conflict and the conflict itself in the Western media and the Nigerian press, and examines the ideological implications of these representations as well as the possible consequences of some particular evaluations of the conflicts for peace and security in Nigeria. The article’s findings show that the constructions of the conflict and the main actors in the Nigerian press are highly sensational, divisive and dangerous. While the foreign press appears much more objective and often constructs the conflict as ‘deadlier than Boko Haram’, the reports still appear to minimize the seriousness of the conflict and construct the actions of the main actors from a perspective that would appeal only to foreign audiences.

“…PWSO may corrode and endanger the world and future generations of Weibo users, endangering the survival of humanity. This kind of delegitimisation by mythopoesis is evident in claims that the future of humans and families and the fate of any society cannot depend on same-sex love but only on heterosexual marriages ( Kania, 2020 ). This again legitimises the portrayal of homosexuality as responsible for population decrease.…”

This article contributes to the understanding of public representations of homosexuality in China by focusing on the case of a homophobic textbook. College student Xixi sued Jinan University Press (JUP) in 2017 for classifying homosexuality as a psychosexual disorder. Three years later, a Chinese court dismissed Xixi’s lawsuit against the allegedly homophobic textbook published by JUP. The ruling elicited responses on Chinese social media that demonstrated the polarisation of public opinion regarding homosexuality. This article investigates discursive representations of homosexuality in online space by analysing the public discourse surrounding this problem. Using van Leeuwen’s discursive delegitimation strategies (i.e., authorisation, moral evaluation, rationalisation, and mythopoesis), 496 comments posted on Sina Weibo were employed and subjected to discourse analysis. According to our findings, these strategies contribute to public opposition to homosexuality, portrayed as unhealthy, infertile, disruptive, and corrosive. The article concludes by discussing the emerging sociocultural factors on Sina Weibo that influence the anti-homosexuality attitudes of Weibo users.

“…Fairclough 1995, Fowler et al 1979, Fowler 1991, Hodge and Kress 1993and van Dijk 1998. Beberapa penelitian juga mencoba fokus pada kajian netralitas atau bias media melalui analisis konten (Aswad, 2019;Shin, 2019;), perangkat diskursif media dalam merepresentasikan peristiwa dan pelibatnya melalui analisis transitivitas dan kolokasi (Dastjerdi dan Borojeni, 2014;Kania, 2019), reperesentasi peristiwa berita utama melalui stilistik dan fitur visual (Riggs, 2021). Namun, penelitian dengan fokus keberpihakan media terhadap peristiwa mulai dari penyusunan tema dan informasi dalam judul berita, modalitas, partisipan, penekanan diksi yang bermakna metaforis belum banyak dilakukan untuk mengungkap perannya dalam menunjukkan idiologi media dalam memandang fenomena sosial yang sedang hangat di masyarakat.…”

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan Analisis Wacana Kritis (AWK). Objek penelitian ini adalah wacana berita dengan topik TWK di media Tempo. Data dikumpulkan dengan teknik simak dan cacat. Data dianalisis sesuai rumusan permasalahan. Teknik analisis data dilakukan secara kualitatif, menggunakan validitas semantis, serta reliabilitas interrater dan intrarater. Hasil penelitian ini adalah sebagai berikut. (1) Struktur dalam teks berita ini terdiri dari empat elemen yaitu judul berita, orientasi, untaian peristiwa dan penutup. (2) penyusunan tema dan informasi dalam judul berita utama didominasi 57 anggota KPK yang tidak lolos TWK, LSM, Pakar Hukum tata negara, Komnas HAM, dan Ombudsman yang melihat TWK tidak tepat. Penggunaan modalitas dalam teks berita ini didominasi modalitas intensional sebanyak 69 tuturan (61 %). Dalam tataran diksi, penggunaan metafora juga cukup dominan, khususnya dalam diksi kalimat judul (3) Berdasarkan hasil interpretasi dan eksplanasi, Tempo menyuguhkan beberapa argumen dengan kutipan langsung dari pihak-pihak yang tidak mendukung langkah ketua KPK untuk segera memberhentikan pegawai KPK yang tidak lolos asesmen TWK. Kata kunci: Representasi media Tempo, wacana Bberita, Tes Wawasan Kebangsaan, Analisis Wacana KritisRepresentation of Tempo's taking sides on the oppressed: A critical discourse analysisAbstractThis research presents a critical discourse analysis on how twelve Tempo headlines represent their taking sides with the 57 KPK employees who failed the civics test. Using the qualitative method, this study aims: 1) to describe the textual evidence of how Tempo framed the KPK civics test through its twelve headlines, 2) to describe how Tempo employs the theme structure of its twelve headlines titles that invokingly indicate its position concerning the KPK civic test, and 3) to describe how Tempo takes sides with the 57 KPK employees through modalities, metaphors, and direct quoted utterances in the news discourses. This study finds firstly that the twelve Tempo headlines were instantiated with the schematic structure of orientation, events sequence, and closing. Secondly, the theme-rheme analysis on the twelve headlines titles show that the 57 KPK employees, Indonesian Human Rights Commission, Ombudsman, Indonesian Corruption Watch (ICW), and Constitutional Law experts are foregrounded as the topical unmarked themes. Thirdly, the use of intentional modalities and metaphors and the direct quoting of arguments against the dismissal of the 57 employees voiced by Indonesian Human Rights Commission, Ombudsman, Indonesian Corruption Watch (ICW), and Constitutional Law experts show how Tempo headlines framed the KPK civic test.Keywords: Civics Tests, critical discourse analysis, media representation
