In this study I employ techniques from corpus-assisted discourse studies (CADS), along with notions from functional grammar, in a multi-comparative study of how the Arab world is represented in various written media. The first comparison is between the representations in two UK newspapers, the left-leaning Guardian and the right-leaning Telegraph. The second comparison is between these representations and those found in an Arabic English-language newspaper, the Daily News Egypt. In a further diachronic comparison, the objective is to see if there are any changes in the representations in the Western newspapers between 2010 and 2013, given the intervening events in the Middle East and North Africa. The study ends with a discussion of some of the issues frequently encountered in this kind of research.

Abstract

In this study I employ techniques from corpus-assisted discourse studies (CADS), along with notions from functional grammar, in a multi-comparative study of how the Arab world is represented in various written media. The first comparison is between the representations in two UK newspapers, the left-leaning Guardian and the right-leaning Telegraph. The second comparison is between these representations and those found in an Arabic English-language newspaper, the Daily News Egypt. In a further diachronic comparison, the objective is to see if there are any changes in the representations in the Western newspapers between 2010 and 2013, given the intervening events in the Middle East and North Africa. The study ends with a discussion of some of the issues frequently encountered in this kind of research.
