  1. Defending ‘Islamic Belief’ Against Discrimination: Religious Minority Group Discourse in Indonesia.Andi Muhammad Irawan, Andi Syurganda & Zul Afdal - 2024 - Muslim World Journal of Human Rights 21 (1):1-17.
    This paper employs Critical Discourse Analysis to examine resistance discourses as created by the Ahmadiyya followers – a self-defined sect of Islam – to argue against negative discourses undermining them in Indonesia. In some legal proclamations and statements delivered by state officials and the representatives of majority Muslims in the country, the followers of the sect, especially those affiliated to the JAI (Jemaat Ahmadiyya Indonesia) are excluded from Islamic community. By using Van Dijk’s ideological square, this study aims at identifying (...)

  • Strategies of othering through discursive practices: Examples from the UK and Poland.Katerina Strani & Anna Szczepaniak-Kozak - 2018 - Lodz Papers in Pragmatics 14 (1):163-179.
    This article discusses findings of a qualitative study on strategies of othering observed in anti-immigrant discourse, by analysing selected examples from the UK and Polish media, together with data collected from interviews with migrants. The purpose is to identify discursive strategies of othering, which aim to categorise, denigrate, oppress and ultimately reject the stigmatised or racialised ‘other’. We do not offer a systematic comparison of the data from the UK and Poland; instead, we are interested in what is common in (...)

  • It's not what you say but how you say it: the role of personality and identity in trial success.Pamela Hobbs - 2008 - Critical Discourse Studies 5 (3):231-248.
    A major focus of the study of courtroom interaction in the fields of sociolinguistics and discourse analysis has been the discursive strategies that lawyers use during trials. While acknowledging the role of rhetorical skill in influencing hearers' perceptions, this paper seeks to demonstrate that language has its limits, and that the speaker's personality and identity are key factors in determining how a verbal presentation will be received. The opening statement given by John Allen Muhammad, the ‘Beltway Sniper’, acting as his (...)

  • Defining the law: (Mis)using the dictionary to decide cases.Pamela Hobbs - 2011 - Discourse Studies 13 (3):327-347.
    Legislatures enact laws and the courts interpret them. Under the doctrine of legislative supremacy, a judge is not free to ignore or modify a statutory provision in order to substitute a rule that seems to him to be better reasoned; thus where the language of a statute is clear and unambiguous, interpretation is unnecessary and it must be enforced according to its terms. Nevertheless, gaps and ambiguities can arise and, in such cases, courts apply interpretive rules, or ‘canons of construction’, (...)
