CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF THE SELECTED NEWSPAPER ARTICLES: A CASE OF FICTIONAL AND NON-FICTIONAL ACCOUNTS

Öz

Regardless of the specific fields or professions we are engaged with, our regular encounter with news media offers fertile ground for language studies. For example, in the realm of literary studies, a discerning analysis of novels necessitates a foundational grasp of language, power, and representation. As in the literary studies, media offers two modes of representations, namely fiction and non-fiction. Most of media’s coverage are regarded non-fiction. However, if the coverage were non-factual, in other words not based on facts or manipulated, then it can simply transform into fiction. The present study endeavours to explore the utilisation of linguistic approaches, specifically Critical Discourse Analysis, as a fundamental tool for comprehending daily media events within the margins of fiction and non-fiction. By delving into the application of such approaches, this research seeks to enhance our understanding of the intricate interplay of language, power, and representation that permeates contemporary media discourse. The paper aims to conduct a comparative analysis of two newspaper articles addressing the crisis between Türkiye and Russia following the incident of Türkiye downing a Russian warplane. The selected articles are sourced from reputable Turkish newspaper ‘Daily Sabah’ and the Russian newspaper ‘Sputnik’. The study begins with a succinct overview of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) as a foundational theoretical framework. Subsequently, a comprehensive analysis of the newspaper articles will be undertaken, employing both macro and micro-structural levels to uncover implicit ideological positions on the same incident. The macro-structural examination encompasses the scrutiny of headlines and leads within the articles, while the micro-structural assessment involves an analysis of discursive strategies, including lexical choices and presuppositions. This study concludes that linguistic approaches that enable the field experts to unpack the language can also be employed by diverse or non-professional readership for interpreting events in everyday life as in the example of critical discourse analysis.
