Media Discourse Analysis of Pakistani Politicians: Exploring Linguistic Strategies and Power Dynamics
Abstract
This study is an attempt to unearth the media discourse of Pakistani politicians and to explore their linguistic strategies and power dynamics. It employs critical discourse analysis (CDA) as the primary framework to investigate how language reflects, reinforces, and challenges power in televised interviews and speeches. By analyzing selected political discourse, the study sheds light on the linguistic strategies used to influence public opinion and assert dominance. This research contributes to the understanding of political communication in a socio-political context shaped by power struggles and media influence.
