| Abstract [eng] |
This study aims to identify prevalent narrative patterns of emotional constructs in the mainstream Lithuanian news media discourse on the war in Ukraine, and their ideological effect on the collective identity expressed in direct quotes. To achieve this goal, war news coverage within one year from February 24, 2022 to February 24, 2023 by the national Lithuanian broadcaster LRT was collected and analysed within the theoretical framework of Critical Discourse Analysis (Fairclough 2013, van Dijk 2015, Wodak 2015) and frame semantics, with the major focus on relational categories of self-identity and othering. It has been hypothesised that the impact of direct quotes in war news coverage is ideologically significant due to their high contribution to the narrative of the collective Self and their emotional value for in-group identification. |
