LANGUAGE AND THE COMPLEX OF IDEOLOGY - MOHAMED ...

This book undertakes a systematic analysis of the workings of ideology in discourse  using an
interdisciplinary approach that links language  cognition and society. Through examination of
two corpora - a collection of British newspaper articles and a set of political speeches - the
author examines Britain's involvement in the Iraq War (2003)  and critically assesses the
language practices which constructed a pro-war ideology under Tony Blair's premiership. Drawing
on a constellation of concepts from van Dijk's socio-cognitive model  this book carries out
both qualitative and quantitative analyses and conceptualises discourse as a nonlinear  highly
discursive and socio-cognitive phenomenon. This innovative work will appeal to students and
scholars of Cognitive Linguistics  Quantitative Linguistics  Social Constructivism  Critical
Discourse Analysis  Political Sciences and Communication Studies.
