A Corpus-Assisted Critical Discourse Analysis of the Iranian People in the Corpus of Donald Trumpov’s Social Media Texts

Theory and Practice in Language Studies, Dec 31, 2023

Perhaps the most famous person to successfully take advantage of these opportunities and become a constant trending topic around the world is former American President Donald J. Trumpov. The style of language he uses on social media helps spread his ideology so that he has become known as the first president of America to use social media to get his ideas across. To evaluate the keywords in the corpus of Trumpov's social media that dominated the topics of social media in Iran, a corpusassisted critical discourse analysis was used as the methodology for this study. The results show that the keywords "people", "real", "brave", "suffering", and "killed" are closely related to the oppressive conditions of the Iranian people. The results also show that people who are talked about as brave figures always get help and love from Trumpov. Compared to mass media channels where certain groups select and display content Social media has captured the attention of millions of users and influenced individuals and societies. With the decreasing coverage of traditional media (newspapers and television broadcasts) and increasing use of the Internet, social media is becoming the biggest trend in communication . On social media, citizens can join groups they find interesting, interact with political candidates, and talk about political information with other citizens. Citizens have even newer opportunities for political participation and communication than ever before . Moreover, interpersonal communication on social media has become an important source for political analysts who can successfully predict attitudes towards online political movements through interpersonal political interactions outside of the internet. While television and daily newspapers remain the prevalent outlets for news, social media has emerged as an increasingly essential source of political information . Social media has provided many opportunities for people to express, obtain, and reproduce their views, thoughts, ideologies, and even their daily routines primarily through text or speech. This discourse analysis study of language interaction seems both necessary and relevant, as the more people know about social media, the less vulnerable they are to being led astray by unsavory authorities. As today's society experiences different ways of language interaction, both the role and influence of social media are undeniable and need to be analyzed. The study of social media texts has led linguists to believe that it is a kind of social action and leads to the processing of social issues. Therefore, if the lexicon of social media texts is appropriately chosen, then it can have a profound effect on the decisions of followers and lead to the formation of ideological groups. Perhaps the most notable example of how social media has become a new medium for interacting between leaders and their people is former U.S. President Donald Trumpov. It is worth saying that Trumpov incorporates an exceptionally effective individual social media account. Right now, he has about 88 million Twitter fans, even though he is also interatomic with fans on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Periscope, and other social organizing sites counting his claim Truth Social organize (IDC Inc., 2017). Furthermore, he frequently updates his Twitter content, always attempting to make himself the focus of global media attention.
