A Contrastive Analysis of the Language of Sports Commentary on Televised Football Matches in Egyptian Arabic and British English.
Televised sports commentary, the focus of the present study, represents a type of monologic discourse where the mass media audience is not co-present in the commentator’s physical context and hence commentators cannot interact with the remote home viewers. The present study aims to identify the characteristic linguistic features of televised football commentary. Certain salient discoursal and syntactic devices are analyzed in British English and Egyptian Arabic football commentary as relevant to certain discoursal functions. Analysis of the English and Arabic corpora reveals striking similarities between the two languages particularly in the way the English and Arabic commentators use the selected linguistic devices to serve different functions.
Key words:
Sports-in-media, discourse analysis, monologic discourse, sports discourse, football commentary.
Representation in War Reporting: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Al-Jazeera and the BBC Web-based English News Coverage of the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah War
The present study aims to explore web-based news reports by the BBC and Al-Jazeera relating to the reporting of the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war, with a view to discovering any significant representation of the selected event. It is possible that the language of war reports reflects divergent attitudes and opinions which are shaped by the beliefs, values and ideologies of different news media. The present study will focus on the analysis of certain salient details of linguistic structure as related to the systems of transitivity, i.e. participant roles and associated process types, the logico-semantic system of expansion and projection, covering the logical relations between clauses, as well as cases of syntactic transformation. The system of transitivity, in particular, is an essential tool in the analysis of the representation of some aspects of reality such as the structure of events and their participants (cf. Fowler, 1991). By conducting a linguistic analysis of the selected news texts in the light of the socio-political and historical context of these texts and of the covered event, the present study presents findings concerning the ways different news outlets can offer varying representations of the same event by employing varying textual structures. Analysis of the corpora of Al-Jazeera and the BBC, reveals contrasting representations in the two news outlets reporting on the 2006 war. The discerned similarities in the representation of the covered war could be said to reflect the news outlets’ endeavours to adhere to journalistic values, the factual style of the genre of the hard news report and considerations of the targeted audience, which would leave limited potential for partial or biased coverage of events. The discerned differences highlight the ways in which varying political positions and ideologies can shape news reporting and the ways in which differences in ownership and source of revenue could potentially affect editorial freedom and the way journalists function.
