Analysis of Discourse Accent and Discursive Practices I&W

Abstract

This effort was initiated to explore the phenomenon of characteristic "in group" and "out group" discursive patterns which link to future behaviors further, to assess how in-groups and out-groups are indexed and constructed in texts. Specifically, the goal was to develop a systematic methodology for identifying and interpreting in-group/out-group discursive practices in Arabic. The intent was to solidify an approach that could focus analysts' attention on issues of in/out group dynamics, as well as be reproducible and trainable.
