| Title |
How the News Expresses Exclusion: A Linguistic Analysis of Two Montreal Newspapers and Their Coverage of the Occupy Movement
|
| Abstract |
The author examines exclusion as an expressive act occurring in language. Using a sample of news coverage during the "Occupy" movement taken from Montreal's English language newspaper The Gazette and French language newspaper La Presse from October 15 to November 25, 2011, the author examines grammatical and lexical elements that express exclusion. His purpose is to examine the characteristics of language that posit a "they" identification, as opposed to an "us" identification.
