|
Power is implicit in discourse and used to maintain role relationships in society. The present study investigates how power is being dominated by the use of language. On the other hand, it would also analyze gender discrimination through discourse. The present research follows pragmatic paradigm using mixed method approach within the framework of Fair Clough (1989) and Van Dijk (1993). The data has been collected through social context and studying searching cultures of different countries. Analysis of the present research highlights the scenario of resisting power in discourse and discourse in power. The study is concluded with the result that use of discourse has a main role in social and gender discrimination. It also suggests that gender biased free and neutral language should be promoted to minimize these issues. |
