Lexico-grammatical portraits of vulnerable women in war

Abstract: The 1641 Depositions are testimonies collected from (mainly Protestant) witnesses documenting their experiences of the Irish uprising that began in October 1641. As news spread across Europe of the events unfolding in Ireland, reports of violence against women became central to the ideological construction of the barbarism of the Catholic rebels.

“…CDA, and more specifically the discourse-historical approach (DHA) as proposed by Wodak (2001), has been successfully applied to the study of out-group and in-group identities during periods of unrest in the more distant past. Prentice and Hardy (2009), for example, analysed processes of empowerment and disempowerment in the Glencairn uprising in Scotland 1653, andMacLeod (2012) and MacLeod and Fennel (2012) investigated identity-construction in the 1641 depositions.…”
