This paper examines the discursive structures employed in |
|
legitimizing the event of U.S. forces withdrawal from |
|
Iraq and identifies them in relation to linguistic |
|
features. It attempts to describe the relation between |
|
language use and legitimation discursive structures in |
|
depicting political events. The paper focuses on the |
|
political event of U.S. forces' withdrawal from Iraq in |
|
the English newspaper issued in Iraq. The study shows the |
|
way in which journalists express their values and |
|
attitudes concerning this critical event. Consequently, |
|
this requires a critical discourse analysis (henceforth, |
|
CDA) to analyse news articles in the Iraqi English |
|
newspaper: The "Kurdish Globe" (henceforth, KG) |
|
newspaper. Accordingly, the study presents a qualitative |
|
content analysis of newspaper articles to identify the |
|
legitimation discursive structures and their linguistic |
|
features. It is found that the main discursive structures |
|
of legitimation employed in the KG newspaper are: |
|
authorization, rationalization, and moral evaluation. |
|
Besides, there were five verb processes used to represent |
|
this legitimation, including material, verbal, |
|
relational, mental, and existential. |
