“…In the description of women's position in Prohaba Daily News texts, Evianda, Ramli and Harun's (2019) have employed Mills and van Leeuwen (2008) model of critical discourse analysis as an analytical tool, focusing on investigating actor position, exclusion and inclusion. The research findings prove that women are described in both subject and object positions in Prohaba Daily News texts.…”

“…Consequently, this study aims at providing a critical analysis of the discursive techniques that are employed by the NGOs report to show the violence against women in Iraq, which is not studied previously by scholars and researchers. Many researchers have focused on and scrutinized women's rights and violation of these rights concerning gender, media, and politics, such as Gungor and Prins (2010), Tranchese and Zollo (2013), Mosha (2013), Voller (2014), Källvik, (2018), Risdaneva (2018), Evianda, Ramli, and Harun (2019). Therefore, critical discourse analysis shows how language produces and reproduces domination and abuse of power, engendering injustice and inequality (van Dijk, 2001a).…”

Violence against women stands as one of the most dominant human rights violations. There are no social, economic, or national boundaries when it comes to violence against women. It is estimated that one in three women in the world will experience physical or sexual abuse at some point in their lives. Several non-governmental organizations’ reports have addressed the problem of violence against women in Iraq. Thus; the current study provides a critical analysis of the discursive techniques that are employed in the non-governmental organizations’ reports to show how Iraqi women are abused and subject to violence. Consequently; this study focuses on the linguistic and ideological underpinnings of a selected text on violence against women in Iraq. It attempts to show how language produces and maintains domination and abuse of power, engendering injustice, inequality, and ideological viewpoints. To answer this, the researchers draw upon van Dijk’s (2011) socio-cognitive approach and (2000) ideological analysis. The findings of the study have revealed that the non-governmental organizations’ report attempts to reflect the ideological position of the non-governmental organizations towards the Iraqi government, which declared its rejection of violence against women through its constitution and Panel Code. Despite this, the researchers have found that there is no actual adoption of these provisions in reality in its social context. Accordingly; the report has depended heavily on authority and evidentiality to show power relations and through the construction of reality based on societal perspectives. Using the linguistic and discoursal strategies employed in the analysis; the researchers have found that the report has materialized a negative attitude towards the government and society by referring to the power dominance which is exercised by social groups.

“…Many researchers focused on and scrutinized women's rights and the violation of these rights only in relation to gender, media and politics. In relation to media, gender and politics were tackled by Gungor and Prins (2010), Abdul-Hameed (2011), Tranchese and Zollo (2013, Mosha (2013), Voller (2014), Hussein (2017), Källvik (2018), Risdaneva (2018), Mohammed (2014), Evianda, Ramli and Harun (2019). Hence, the researchers hope to fill the hiatus in the literature by analyzing the selected data in terms of the language choices and the ideological attitudes through the adoption of van Dijk's (2011) socio-cognitive approach and van Dijk's (2000) model of ideology.…”

Recently, women's rape has been a pervasive problem in the Iraqi society. Thus, it has become necessary to consider the role of language and its influence on the common beliefs and opinions about rape in the Iraqi society. Thus, taking into consideration the critical role of language and its impact on the perception of human reality and the social development based on people's beliefs and principles of life has become highly indispensable. Therefore. The aim of this article is to address this problem critically from legislation and social norms in NGOs' reports (2015; 2019) with reference to some provisions from the Iraqi Panel Code (1969; 2010). Therefore, the researchers examine the discursive strategies and ideological viewpoints in the selected data through the employment of critical discourse analysis. Specifically, the researchers have adopted van Dijk's (2011) socio-cognitive approach and van Dijk's (2000) ideological model to show how language produces and reproduces domination and abuse of power, engendering as a result injustice and inequality. The study has concluded that the NGOs' reports are written in a language that reflects the attitudes and opinions which might be shared among group members. These reports rely heavily on the linguistic device that is of evidentiality to assure the credibility of giving evidence about the domination of social norms in relation to women's rape. More importantly, the dichotomy of positive and negative representation is highly adopted as an ideological strategy, showing the conflict between the legislation and social norms. Therefore, the study has recommended that the government in its legal institutions should provide provisions to protect the raped women from society and from their families.
