Abstract
ABSTRACT In this study, the concept of framing is applied in order to show differences in the conception of crime events in the genre of news texts across socio-cultural contexts. Three aspects of framing at the thematic, lexical and syntactic level are defined: occurrence, marked description and prominence and, accordingly, a corpus of one hundred crime-news articles in Dutch and Iranian national newspapers is analyzed. Taking a systematic and replicable approach, it was found that crime-news narratives in the two countries frame crime and crime-related events in different ways with regard to the representation of participants, actions and circumstantial elements. The implication of these different framing patterns is explained in terms of different socio-cultural contexts and discussed with regard to the discourse culture of journalism. The study has implications for further exploration of the interdependence of discourse, context and cognition.
