Abstract
We use language for different purposes that are mostly related to the social practices in different contexts and perspectives. Discourse analysis is one of the disciplines which examines the use of language from different perspectives to reach a possible understanding of the discourse. This paper is also an attempt to analyze language used in a particular context and perspective to understand and expose some constructed realities. The objective of this study is to examine the Canadian PM’s moral and ideological standpoint, his commitment to show solidarity with the grieved community, his determination to eradicate terrorism and his linguistic characterization of terrorism that he confirmed in his speech in the House of Common on March 18, 2019 after the Christchurch Mosque Shootings in New Zealand. The analysis is based on Fairclough’s conceptions in CDA. It claims that ideologies and texts are interrelated, and it is not possible to break this link between ideologies and texts because the texts can be interpreted in maximum possible ways. This study analyzes the components of ideology and persuasion used in Justin Trudeau’s speech to reveal his commitment and persuasive strategies against terrorism, and it gives new hopes to the targeted communities worldwide as well as the general public. He tried to ensure the public that they are not alone because the world leaders and the heads of the states are unconditionally united to eradicate worldwide terrorism.
Highlights
1.1 Background of the Study “CDA is a problem-oriented and multidisciplinary set of theories and methods which have been widely used in educational research” (Rogers, 2011)
It focuses on the social practice of language (Fairclough & Wodak, 1997), and all forms of social practices are tied to specific historical contexts, demands and functions of social situations, relations and cultures to serve different interests
He further says that there are different context and perspectives of this issue, so we have to fight against this hateful ideology whenever and wherever we find it without thinking of our personal and national interests because human lives are more important
Summary
1.1 Background of the Study “CDA is a problem-oriented and multidisciplinary set of theories and methods which have been widely used in educational research” (Rogers, 2011). It is a broad field related to the practical use of language in different contexts and perspectives. The study of everyday life, decision-making in organizations and political institutions has become a major new focus of CDA. It looks into public and political speeches, advertisements, newspapers, official documents and examines the relationship among languages, ideologies and power. Discourse analysts critically study the lexical, syntactical, semantic and pragmatic choices to understand the use of language beyond and behind the text or discourse. Their focus is on constructing or exposing realities by using logical arguments or counter-arguments. The optional elements of world knowledge, moving sequence of events and schemata help to fix the meaning of discourse in different contexts and perspectives
