Representation of Muslims through Passivization and Nominalization in British News Media Discourse: The Times Online Newspaper as a Case Study
Abstract This paper investigates the way passivization and nominalization are used to represent Muslims in the language of one of the most prominent British online newspapers, The Times. The study, which adopts the Critical Discourse Analysis approach, aims to achieve this objective by comparing the way Muslim and non-Muslim subjects are talked about, to eventually see if there is any differential treatment in the discourse of the newspaper under investigation. The study analyses ten randomly selected news articles reporting stories about shootings and bombings, which got a substantial amount of media coverage. The results show that passivization is used more frequently in the articles about non-Muslim attackers, while nominalization displays a different pattern by being used more frequently in the articles talking about Muslim subjects. The way Muslim subjects are represented in the newspaper texts is believed to contribute to the reinforcement of some negative and widespread stereotypical images about Muslims and Islam.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs is a peer reviewed research journal produced by the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs (IMMA) as part of its publication programme. Published since 1979, the journalhas firmly established itself as a highly respected and widely acclaimed academic and scholarly publication providing accurate, reliable and objective information. Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs provides a forum for frank but responsible discussion of issues relating to the life of Muslims in non-Muslim societies. The journalhas become increasingly influential as the subject of Muslim minorities has acquired added significance. About 500 million Muslims, fully one third of the world Muslim population of 1.5 billion, live as minorities in 149 countries around the globe. Even as minorities they form significant communities within their countries of residence. What kind of life do they live? What are their social, political and economic problems? How do they perceive their strengths and weakness? What above all, is their future in Islam and in the communities of their residence? The journal explores these and similar questions from the Muslim and international point of view in a serious and responsible manner.
