Corpus-Based Analysis of Ideological Bias presents research
combining a range of corpus-linguistic techniques which are
employed to analyse how migration discourse is (re)constructed in
the contemporary British press. Two specialised corpora containing
1,000 news reports, editorials, and opinion pieces from five major
national British newspapers were collected and annotated for this
research. The event separating these two corpora is the 2016
referendum on Britain's membership of the European Union (EU). In
its analysis, this book: employs both quantitative and qualitative
analytical methods, with four case studies offering a broad
perspective on how the topical socio-political issues of migration
and asylum seeking are represented by left- and right-wing British
newspapers; explores how newspapers reveal their political
orientation and promote their political agenda by employing
specific linguistic patterns and discursive strategies - in this
case, in the representation of the key social actors within
migration discourse; provides case studies that place a particular
focus on the discourses surrounding European migrants and migration
within the EU, which proved to be a very popular topic in the
British press both before and after the 2016 EU membership
referendum; and offers a comparative corpus analysis that seeks to
ascertain whether media discourse regarding EU migration has
changed in the wake of the referendum. This book is a useful source
not only for students of English, linguistics, and media studies,
but also for researchers in the fields of applied corpus
linguistics, critical discourse studies, contemporary media
analysis, and metaphor research.
