| dc.description.abstract | This study focuses on the critical discourse analysis of the speeches of the US President Donald Trump in order to explore his ideology about the Muslims. Van Dijk's (2004) framework from politics, ideology and discourse is adopted in order explore how he fits the Muslims in US vs THEM binary. The dataset consists of the transcripts of Trump's five political speeches as the presidential candidate from January 2015 to July 2016 and five speeches as the president of the USA from January 2017 to September 2017 available on the internet. The macro strategies of 'positive self-representation' and 'negative other- representation' (which are intimately tied up with 'Polarization' of in group vs. out group ideologies or US-THEM) have been used for the evaluation of Trump's speeches. This study will add to the existing body of knowledge in the field of critical discourse analysis of speeches of the US president. | en_US |
