Constructed opposition has proved as viable an area of research as
traditional antonymy, and a useful tool in looking at ideologically
orientated texts. This book investigates how binary oppositions are
constructed discursively and the potential ideological
repercussions of their usage in news reports in the British press.
The focus is particularly on the positive presentation of groups
and individuals subsumed under the first person plural pronouns
'us' and 'we', and the simultaneous marginalization of groups
designated as 'they' or 'them'. Exploring the dynamic relations
between the linguistic system and language in context this is a key
publication for those involved in discourse analysis and
stylistics.
