Research Overview My research focuses on gendered, sociocultural, and media discourses with the aim of understanding how people in society use language for representations, (de)legitimation, and identity-construction. I am interested in exploring the interplay of discourse, discursive (i.e. journalism) practice, and sociocultural context from a critical perspective so as to uncover the ideological implications. The main analytical/theoretical frameworks that I adopt are corpus-assisted discourse analysis and critical discourse analysis.
