Discourse analysis of some Arabic news items

Abstract EN

The conception of discourse has motivated a variety of research perspectives in multiple disciplines, such as sociology, psychology, and linguistics.

Political discourse analysis has recently become the interest of numerous theorists and philosophers due to the close relationship between language, as a multiple means of communication and politics.

This study will investigate the pragmatic connections between propositions or between the propositions of some Arabic news texts.

Moreover, this study identifies each discourse connector or marker in a particular news item and examines the aim behind using each one of them depending on Hyland's classification of interactive and interactional met discourse categories.

These expressions are considered significant components in the text production and perception as well as they can occur initially, medially, or finally.
