“…Nevertheless, this does not seem to be a Hungarian-specific trend but a rather general situation. The conclusions of corpus analyses from other countries like the UK, Pakistan or Malaysia (Baker, 2014a;Azher, et al, 2014;Bakar, 2014;respectively) similarly describe a clear male prevalence in national discourses.…”

“…So far analyses have focused on the English language primarily. Sigley & Holmes (2002) examine gender in various English corpora; Pearce (2008) looks at British English; Azher et al (2014) compares British with Pakistani;and Bakar (2014) explores gender representation, refreshingly in a Malaysian corpus. Each of the analyses identify gender-specific patterns in their corpora, most of the time sexism towards women.…”

The goal of the paper was to uncover how femininity and masculinity are discursively performed by single Malaysian adults trying to promote themselves as desirable women or men.…”

“…Corpus linguistics is defined as a “scientific method of language analysis [which] requires the analyst to provide empirical evidence in the form of data drawn from language corpora in support of any statement made about language” (Brezina, 2018 , p. 2); usually, it involves the use of specialized computer software to identify linguistic patterns within a body of texts selected by the researcher. The use of corpus linguistic methods to isolate discursive strategies of identity construction is well-established within linguistic research (Baker, 2006 ; Bednarek and Martin, 2011 ; Bakar, 2014 ; Fuoli, 2018 ). There is no prescribed method for conducting analysis which combines thematic and corpus approaches, as corpus linguistics is an emergent method within education research (Pérez-Paredes, 2021 ).…”

“We Will Appreciate Each Other More After This”: Teachers' Construction of Collective and Personal Identities During Lockdown

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In March 2020, schools in England were closed to all but vulnerable children and the children of key workers, as part of a national effort to curb the spread of the Covid-19 virus. Many teachers were required to work from home as remote learning was implemented. Teaching is primarily a relational profession, and previous literature acknowledges that supportive relationships with peers help to maintain teachers' resilience and commitment during challenging periods. This paper reports on findings from a small-scale study conducted in England during the first national lockdown beginning in March 2020, which explored the impact of the requirement to teach remotely on teachers' identity and peer relationships. A discourse analysis, informed by the aims and practices of discursive psychology, was conducted in order to explore the association between constructions of peer support and responses to the Covid-19 pandemic. Findings indicate that teachers who presented their professional self-identity as collective rather than personal appeared to have a more positive perspective on the difficulties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. These findings, which have implications for policymakers and school leaders, contribute to the growing field of research on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on education by showing the strong association between teachers' constructions of identity and their capacity to respond positively to the challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic.

“…The framework starts with inclusion and exclusion across varying levels of representation and through a diversity of role allocation. As a result of its breadth, the application of social actor representation in the literature on discourse studies seems relatively common, including works on execution ( Utama et al, 2020 ; Chaemsaithong, 2021 ), terrorism ( Rasoulikolamaki and Kaur, 2021 ), disability ( Ang and Yeo, 2018 ), and politics ( Asad et al, 2019 ; Surjowati, 2020 ; Diamante, 2021 ), as well as those with corpus-based motivations ( García-Marrugo, 2013 ; Bakar, 2014 ; Fadanelli et al, 2020 ).…”

When COVID-19 swept the world at the end of 2019, it changed life as we knew it. With about 600 million positive cases (both recovered and active) and approximately 6.5 million deaths due to the disease, people worldwide have been affected physically, psychologically, economically, and socially by the pandemic. Amid such difficult times, @FacesofCovid—a Twitter account with more than 150,000 followers—was launched in March 2020 with the mission of honoring the lives of those lost to COVID-19 instead of presenting them as mere statistics. The account is a demonstrative example of the mourning genre as primarily exhibited through concise tweets grieving the deceased. As such, it offers a novel case of a public online mourning platform through microblogging, an understudied research area that merits further examination. A self-built corpus of 280,536 words was built from more than 7,000 tweets on the public account. The analysis presented in this paper focused on how people are constructed in the language of their loved ones as they are mourned through these tweets. Drawing on insight from van Leeuwen’s social actor representation and corpus linguistics, the analysis was conducted using the #LancsBox corpus processing software package. The findings indicated that gender asymmetry persists within this corpus. Therefore, this paper adds to the rich body of literature documenting gender imbalance across different genres and domains. Men are far more present than women and are constructed through functionalization for the most part, whereas women are less functionalized and represented primarily through relational identification. In light of this, it is argued that while sometimes, gender asymmetry can intentionally be ideologically loaded and may serve hidden agendas, at other times, it may inherently and subconsciously be passed on through spontaneous language use.
