“…Surveying preceding and recent annals of literature involving Rhetoric, CDA and SFL showcases that their focal attention mainly fixated on the investigation of political speeches based on different discursive structures (Kazemian & Hashemi, 2014;Noor et al, 2015;Ali, Kazemian, & Bughio, 2015;Kazemian & Hashemi, 2017;Kazemian et al, 2021;Derakhshani et al, 2021 etc.). This study is also unique in that it deals with political speeches during the coronavirus crisis.…”

This study investigates the potential ideological stances reflected in President Trump’s speeches during the coronavirus crisis through the use of certain lexical items and grammatical constructions, including modal structures, comparative and superlative forms and pronouns. Two speeches delivered by Trump in two different phases of the coronavirus crisis are selected and analyzed in light of Fairclough’s (1995) CDA three-dimensional model. The study found that Trump used linguistic devices to emphasize concepts related to America’s superiority and supremacy, national unity, citizens’ involvement, and self-glorification. In addition, egoism was also stressed through the use of the pronouns “I” and “we”.

“…In surveying the recent annals of literature, some other considerable studies have also inspected various political, advertisement, media etc. discourses in light of CDA to discern multiple strategies utilized by orators and political pundits and to show how language users make the text/talk persuasive, significant, appealing and obscure, as well as how they convey their intended objectives to the audience (Kazemian & Hashemi, 2014Ali, Kazemian & Bughio, 2015;Amoli, 2016;Carreon & Svetanant, 2017;Gill & Kausar, 2017).

Foucault’s theory of power and discourse has opened new horizons in the various fields of linguistics. It has brought the working of the power of discourse into the focus of research. Critical Discourse Analysis looks at this relationship between language and power. Language is taken as a patent tool for exerting power and for building identity (Foucault, 1998). Critical discourse analysis (CDA) reveals the ways by which discourse is manipulated for the construction of various domains such as identity, ethnicity, ideology, cultural differences and gender. The most wide-ranging and most influential work in CDA is of Norman Fairclough. He takes language as a social practice. He makes it clear that the power of discourse is used for depiction of ideology and gender representation. The present study used Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) as an approach to find out the working of frames for representation of gender identity. The current study analyzed the campaign speeches of Hillary Clinton for finding out her projection of gender identity through frames. The data of the study consists of her opening primary campaign speech which is the Campaign Launch Speech and her last speech for Primary campaign that was delivered in the American presidential election of 2016. The theoretical framework for the present study is Fairclough’s Three Dimensional Model (2015) and the tool applied on this model for looking into the working of frames is the Frame Problem Tool of Gee (2014). The results of the study revealed that Hillary used the technique of framing for projecting her gender identity. She used the fight and family frames for the modification of the boundaries of American presidency with respect to gender. Through her political discourse she framed herself as a brave and bold woman who had she become the president of the United States would have fought for the rights of all Americans irrespective of their creed, sect, religion, gender and nationality.

“…Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), critique discourse and expedite evaluative or explanatory operation discourse by (1) interpreting text written as spokes in social context, (2) recontextualizing the discourse for critical analysis, (3) relocating it in the context, (4) deciphering contradictions and, (5) unearthing wider social relations. It is also viewed as a form of "meta-critique" as it acknowledges discourse participant's own interpretation of the discourse that is concrete action (praxis) within particular context for a good understanding of the existing reality (Fairclough, 2015, p-21).…”

“…It was mainly pursued to discover how the language of a politician pursues people in the enactment of power dominance, inequality, and the imposition of an ideology. In another study, Ali, Kazemian & Bughio (2015) have probed a reading text 'Pakistan Zindabad' to identify problems showing the gap and unawareness on the part of teachers and students regarding the critical discourse of the text in classroom reading context. In surveying the recent annals of literature, some other considerable studies have also inspected various political, advertisement etc.…”

This rigorous research attempts to decipher the covert rhetoric -ideology of peace and justice-reflected in Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's UNOGA address, 2015. This paper examines the relationship between text and elements of power and ideology reflected in PM's political discourse from dialectical perspective. Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) bases on "social critique and transformative action for change on a critique of discourse" (Fairclough, 2015) and it advances from endoxa (opinion) to praxis (action) to reflect change in existing reality. The researcher employs Fairclough's (1989Fairclough's ( , 1995 three dimensions model that includes text analysis (description), processing analysis (interpretation) and social analysis (explanation). This study also assesses Faircloughian conjecture that "ideologies embed in texts" and "texts are open to diverse interpretations" (Fairclough, 1995). The selected speech of the PM in term of corpus' power and ideological components are critiqued and assessed. It is also attempted to decode how clandestine elements of power and ideology underpin the leaders' discourses and how their linguistic strategies and discourses exercise power and ideologies to shape opinion of the readers or listeners to understand realities better as "using of language involves something that goes beyond the acquisition of structures" (Yalden, 1987).
