“…Several studies have successfully contributed to understanding the discursive ways in which partner violence and femicides are framed in national newspapers in the United Kingdom (Gillespie et al 2013;Lloyd and Ramon 2017), Spain (Santaemilia and Maruenda-Bataller 2016; Sánchez-Moya 2019a) or Italy (Formato 2019;Busso et al 2020), among others. Linguistic analyses have also been central in the examination of the discourse around IPV in police records (Hester 2013), courtrooms (Franzén and Aronsson 2018) and therapy contexts (Kilgore et al 2015). These studies rely on transitivity analyses and discuss the implications of voice and self and other positioning (through subject and object position) and connect them to the power imbalances experienced in abusive relationships.…”

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is undoubtedly one of the most worrying concerns in today’s global societies. Due to the many intertwined factors that explain the persistence of this reality among people from all sorts of backgrounds, finding a uniform strategy to cope with this social issue is far from unproblematic. In this study, I contribute to a growing field of research that examines the discourse of female survivors of IPV in online contexts. The main objective is to identify relevant linguistic patterns used by women to represent themselves and their perpetrators in a publicly-available online forum. More specifically, I seek to ascertain the discursive traits that characterise women in an initial stage in contrast to a final stage within an abusive relationship. To this end, I adopt a Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies approach in a digital corpus of around 136,000 words, which are analysed with the software tool Sketch Engine. Findings show the most salient discursive traits that characterise IPV online discourse. Additionally, and drawing on verb patterns ascertained in the corpus and their semantic categorisation, I also connect linguistic textual evidence to the power imbalances that sustain this social phenomenon.

“…Although studies have shown how IPV-sustaining discourse operates in a variety of statements about IPV, the situation becomes less clear in cases where discourse responds to IPV, but does not directly speak of it (see also Kilgore, Cronley, & Lehmann, 2015). In addition, the most complex and nuanced analyses depend strongly on interviews and direct conversational material, where evasions can be called out, vague statements can be clarified, and absent topics can be resurrected.…”

This exploratory study employs discourse and narrative analysis to assess men's ( n = 45) responses to a writing assignment completed at the end of a solution-focused voluntary batterer intervention program. The study finds that the men primarily use the assignment to reassure themselves of their future success, defined through traditionally male paradigms. The narrative analysis then divides the letters according to type: Participants (22.7%) use a "transformative" discourse of behavior change and intimate partner violence (IPV)-sustaining discourse (18.2%), but the plurality (38.6%) use both simultaneously. The ideological conflict demonstrated in these responses highlights how IPV-sustaining discourse is embedded within broader sociocultural discursive structures.
