Comparing extracts from recorded interviews discussing violence against women, men, and children proves that the representation of social actors differs depending on the victim and thereby normalizes violent behavior.

This review aims to map the main topics and methods used in hate speech studies and then provide critical remarks related to the methodological issues. The review focused on 70 selected articles and was analyzed using the NVivo 12 combined with the LancsBox 6.0. Based on the analysis, previous studies show a strong relationship between hate speech, political issues, and discrimination. Although many studies of hate speech have applied the CDA approach, and some of them have used sociocognitive CDA, it is surprising and unfortunate that previous researchers did not show much attention and further exploration of the cognitive aspects of the theory itself. It means that the cognitive aspects of hate speech have yet to be appropriately explored.","PeriodicalId":47965,"journal":{"name":"Discourse & Society","volume":"34 1","pages":"462 - 484"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44512862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scholarly attention on same-sex relationships in the Nigerian context has mainly been on the legalistic and sociological perspectives, with little attention paid to how language serves as a means of illegitimising same-sex sexualities in the Nigerian media. This study, therefore, examines illegitimation strategies in the representation of same-sex sexualities in news reports of selected Nigerian newspapers. van Leeuwen’s theory of legitimation and Critical Discourse Analysis were adopted as the framework, for their contextual approaches to language. A total of 80 news reports on same-sex sexualities from four purposively selected Nigerian newspapers (Vanguard, The Punch, Nigerian Tribune and The Sun) were randomly sampled. The newspapers were selected based on their preponderant coverage of reports on LGBT people between 2013 and 2015. Journalists used experts’ authority, role-model/personal authority, authority of tradition, conformity, moral evaluation and analogy to legitimise discrimination against non-heterosexuals in news reports. This paper argues that the media are instrumental in the continuous violence against non-heterosexuals in Nigeria.","PeriodicalId":47965,"journal":{"name":"Discourse & Society","volume":"34 1","pages":"273 - 290"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43529871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Throughout, then, power is variously expressed, negotiated and resisted. Particularly relevant to academic culture, Tannen reflects on her surprise that what she, as a professor, regarded as informal friendliness in emails is often interpreted by students as impolite, demonstrating that a communicative move ‘intended to show solidarity or create connection can come across as ― and simultaneously be ― an expression of power’, and vice versa (p. 66). Tannen uses this to remind scholars to be wary of assuming only one interpretation of an utterance or non-verbal expression. Following Tannen’s observation of polysemy, Marmorstein’s subsequent chapter showcases the variety of meanings of the Arabic yaʕni (‘it means’) and Hebrew borrowing, ya’ani, in different communicative and cultural contexts to convincingly show that discourse markers and their contexts ‘co-shape each other’ (p. 85). Meanwhile, in Chapter 8, Ehrlich highlights the need for researchers to attend to the semiotic ideologies of participants, as this is ‘crucial in understanding how representing something through images or language has an impact on meaning’ (p. 133). Clearly, participants’ perspectives and contextual factors must be attended to, as these can challenge and expand the researcher’s existing knowledge to provide a more nuanced view of how semiotic resources are received. Overall, this edited collection is an important contribution that further supports Schiffrin et al.’s (2015: 5) proclamation that ‘the vastness and diversity of discourse analysis is a strength rather than a weakness’. Of course, more contexts and approaches can always be suggested. However, considering its inevitable spatial limitations, the collection effectively balances methodologies, theories, datasets, languages and modalities to provide a nuanced showcase of the diversity and interdisciplinarity of discourse analysis as a field. Scholars and students from any disciplinary background will be able to benefit from this collection, which should be able to push readers beyond their own established niche to consider the depth and breadth of what studying discourse can mean.","PeriodicalId":47965,"journal":{"name":"Discourse & Society","volume":"34 1","pages":"791 - 793"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49419094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During court-related mediation, the mediator intends to stimulate both sides’ desires to mediate the negotiable space, proximize the mediating discourse and finally achieve persuasive functions of the mediator’s discourse; the mediator’s manipulation of the spatial, temporal, and axiological proximization strategies is of decreasing frequency. Among them, the spatial proximization strategies as dominant roles while the temporal and the axiological proximization ones as auxiliary roles, jointly promote the construction of “mediating space” and establish the legitimized forces in mediation discourse. This study aims at exploring how to achieve the dispute resolution by court-related mediation, total conciliation of conflicts as well as full construction of social harmony.","PeriodicalId":47965,"journal":{"name":"Discourse & Society","volume":"34 1","pages":"336 - 356"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43699146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It utilises a multimodal discourse approach to explore how a combination of textual and visual resources was deployed to communicate informative and educative public health safety campaigns during the period. Essentially, this study discusses multimodal resources as a rhetorical technique for creating a public discursive engagement space designed to educate the public and mitigate the effect of the pandemic. The dataset was collected during and after the lockdown in 2020 (March-September) through media monitoring and manual downloading of relevant online COVID-19 posts, messages and public health advisories largely from WhatsApp platforms and the portals of some Nigerian national newspapers. Using insights from relevant approaches in discourse analysis (e.g. Multimodal Discourse and Critical Discourse Analysis), we adopted a qualitative content analysis approach to analyse on how online posts as multimodal resources amplify the role of social media affordances in producing and promoting public safety messages helped to control the spread and mitigate the effects of the pandemic. The study also shows that discursive and multimodal resources were deliberately deployed to increase the effectiveness of the technology-driven public health campaign. To a large extent, multimodal resources were found to complement lexico-semantic properties of online communication, where social media messages are created, crafted and reconstructed within a uniquely Nigerian public discourse context.

The investigation takes into consideration the political logic of the relationship between the central and local governments as well as their working mechanism. More specifically, a total of 84 open letters written by the local governments to mobilize residents during the COVID-19 pandemic were analyzed. The study integrated the CDA perspective, legitimation theory, and campaign-style governance and examined what ideological discourses are constructed in the open letters, what type of authority is constructed for legitimation, and what is the main communication style used. In addition, the study paid attention to the patterns among the different local government ranks. The findings revealed that moral appeal and political authority were the key elements of legitimation discourse, but governments with lower ranks exhibited a trend of de-ideologization. Meanwhile, impersonal politeness and direct bold command contradictorily co-existed in open letters of basic level local governments. These finding reveal that despite the top government's centralized power, realization of ideological work in a national campaign is confined by the divergent and complicated realities of local governments.</p>","PeriodicalId":47965,"journal":{"name":"Discourse & Society","volume":"34 1","pages":"77-95"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9459368/pdf/10.1177_09579265221116980.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41216209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
