Authors : Ghoul Amina . Guerza Radia .
Abstract
Since 2011,Syria has witnessed a furious civil war that has resulted in a dangerous humanitarian crisis. Thousands of Syrians were obliged to leave Syria searching for a decent life.Some of these refugees succeeded in reaching their destination while others lost their lives.This paper seeks to investigate the representation of Syrian refugees in media discourse. More specifically, it aims to analysethe linguistic and discursive strategies employed by CNN andAl Jazeera in their representations of Syrian refugees through analyzing two articles published in 2015.It is a qualitative study that adopts Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) drawing on the social discoursal framework of Norman Fairclough. The results revealed that there is no neutral representation, and that both channels dehumanized Syrian refugees by representing them as great masses of vulnerable people.
