Studying Marx’s analysis of class struggles in France provides insight into historical socio-economic dynamics, revealing patterns of oppression, resistance, and revolution. It elucidates the role of the bourgeoisie and proletariat in shaping societal structures, informing contemporary understanding of power dynamics, inequality, and potential pathways for social change. Based on the English version of the Class Struggles in France, the language use and organization of it are analysed by using the retrieval and analysis functions of AntConc. Through the analysis, its language features are concise, clear structure, strong logicality, key terms centred around the main theme, and a coherent logical relationship. The vocabulary used exhibits emotional tendencies, particularly concerning communism and capitalism, highlighting the author’s emotional attitude.
