“…The term 'framing' itself is multifarious with regards to its definition. It is a concept widely applied in a generous array of disciplines, although the term was first coined by Frederic Bartlett in the field of cognitive psychology (Pluwak, 2011). Fountaine (2017) described framing as a concept concerned with message content, and as one that is widely utilised in the social sciences and humanities.…”

“…Framing is, broadly, a flexible entity. Pluwak (2011), in her work on the linguistic aspects of framing in modern political campaigns, described it as a "very general mechanism" (p. 308) applicable to both visual and textual contents. She opined that properly chosen wording or framing in political messages can have implications with respect to influencing public opinions and preferences.…”

Language and Political Psychology: Can Grammar Influence Electability?

Daily, the public is plied with political messages from various sources and millions are invested in campaign ads each election year. Yet, surprisingly little is known about the influence of linguistic details in such messages on attitudes about political candidates, especially within the context of Malaysia. The present study is grounded within the structure of framing and grammar, and suggests that grammar can influence attitudes towards a candidate's electability. The study involved 387 male and female Malaysian university students (19-to 25-year-olds) of various ethnicities. The researcher designed two comprehensive questionnaires based on Fausey and Matlock's (2011) work. Participants were randomly assigned Version A (n=192) or Version B (n=195) of the questionnaire. Both versions were about the conduct of Members of Parliament, unnamed and without party labels, to avoid bias about actual politicians. The conduct or actions were of negative and positive valence; Version A was framed using the imperfective form ['was verb + ing'] and employed the modal verb 'must', whereas Version B was framed using the perfective form ['verb + ed'] and employed the modal verb 'have to'. Primarily, results revealed that imperfective descriptions of negative actions resulted in negative responses to the re-election of a candidate. However, the participants were largely insensitive to grammatical alteration when judging a candidate's past positive actions. The results on modality demonstrated a preference for the modal verb 'must' which carries more "emotional value" than 'have to'. The present study is novel in that it covers the dimension of modality (which has never been explored in previous studies) and that to date, there is no available research similar to it in the Malaysian context.

“…Framing as a concept has been adopted by scholars in different fields of study and this has also led to diverse modifications of its definition. For instance, Frederic Bartlett relates it to the ways the human memory functions (Pluwak, 2011). Building on this, Minsky (1975) sees framing as a term for a stereotyped situation.…”

Framing and Group Polarisation in Hate Speeches in Nigeria

Since the Nigerian Civil War in 1970, there has been a mutual suspicion among its three major ethnic groups, Hausa (in the North), Igbo (East) and Yoruba (West). This is not only manifest in their socio-political life but has also generated strife and hate speech, typified by context-sensitive strategies. This paper highlights the key group-motivated strategies of framing and polarisation utilized in the hate speeches raised by different groups in the Nigerian political discourse. The 2017 Kaduna declaration by a northern union (Arewa Youths), threatening to evict the Igbo living in the northern region, and response texts from other unions to the declaration constitute the data. These were subjected to content analysis with insights from van Dijk’s Ideological Representation and Halliday and Matthiessen’s Transitivity Theory. The findings reveal a self-preservationist frame, which is polarised in the Self/Other pattern.
