Representing Minorities in Times of Conflict

Representing Minorities in Times of Conflict, Volume 1, provides a rigorous corpus-based analysis of how minority groups are depicted within news discourse. Isabella Martini examines the linguistic representation of marginalized populations by analyzing letters to the editor across two distinct historical periods. This history text focuses on the Armenian genocide and the Russian-Ukrainian war to illustrate how public opinion and ideological stances manifest in the British press. By utilizing a corpus of over 600 letters from archives like The Times, The Telegraph, and The Guardian, the study offers a comparative view of media evolution over a century.

This academic work serves as a vital resource for researchers in history, media studies, and linguistics. Representing Minorities in Times of Conflict, Volume 1, employs corpus methods and discourse analysis to uncover how technological shifts and news production changes influence socio-historical narratives. The research moves beyond traditional majority-led histories to highlight the specific linguistic patterns used to frame minority experiences during periods of intense global conflict.
