“…Generally, these studies have focused on Hong Kong people's identity vis-a-vis China and the world's perception of Hong Kong, given that it was the last British colony, returning to Chinese sovereignty in 1997. Notably, only few studies have come out of Mainland China in addition to our observation that all these studies except for Zhang (2015) and Hou (2016) were comparative studies, with their focus on identity and ideology (but not explicitly on power). Perhaps, the issue of information control and censorship could be the reason for the lack of corpus-based research in China compared to Hong Kong.…”

The incorporation of corpus linguistics (CL) methods within critical discourse analysis (CDA) has increasingly gathered momentum over the last decade. This paper surveys studies using this triangulated framework, drawing on a database of 121 studies collected from three citation indexes: Social Sciences Citation Index, Arts and Humanities Citation Index, and Scopus. It presents a meta-analysis of these studies focussing on four variables, namely their chronological development, the domains of engagement, the issues that have been topicalised, and the area/regional coverage of the studies. In particular, the paper accounts for the factors that have contributed to the popularity of corpus-based CDA in the last decade as an approach to discourse analysis, provides insights into the evolution of this eclectic approach, and anticipates the future of the framework by offering suggestions. The paper concludes that corpus-based CDA presents both discourse analysts and corpus linguists with a robust methodology to tackle research questions bordering on discursive reflections of social issues and to identify new sites of public discourse for systematic analysis.

“…Conversely, some studies (e.g. Hou, 2016, Leung, 2016 minimally used corpus methods, especially in the analysis and discussion, as a way of boosting the empirical credence of analyses. The measure of integration achieved in corpus-based CDA, thus, remains a challenge of the framework (cf.…”

“…With the help of a huge corpus, he was able to identify the negative connotations for the selected word. Hou (2016) explored the media representation of the Chinese dream thrugh a corpus-driven approach. His findings have exposed that corpus can be a helpful tool in revealing discourse ideologies.…”

Saudi Vision 2030 is a scheme; the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has formulated to realize its mainstream economic, social, and administrative goals. Accordingly, the Kingdom strategizes to implement this transformative Vision. The current research aims to analyze how American media has reported several events, actions, and policies in line with Saudi Vision 2030. Thus, the question posed is how an image of the transformative Saudi Kingdom has been presented by American media discourse, in line with Vision 2030. The study is substantial for the Kingdom to ascertain how the world has responded to its Vision. Moreover, in a world with media as a dominant directing agency, it is imperious for the Kingdom to keep an eye on its image in the global community. The research is primarily a quantitative study based on the corpus approach to study the designated media discourse. A specialized corpus of 150,000 words is compiled and analyzed through a variety of corpus tools. The results reveal that American newspapers have given limited representation of the Vision and related activities. Their media usually highlights the pre-existing features of the Kingdom. On the other hand, there are very occasional references to some new aspects like the transformation of the economy, promotion of tourism, revision of the society, etc., which are being implemented in the Kingdom. The study suggests that the Kingdom needs to brief the Western world for an enriched campaign of its contemporary image.
