The article analyzes the lexical composition, grammatical structures, and semantic roles in the headlines of media publications dedicated to Aboriginal women in Australia, based on the Australian newspapers The Daily Telegraph, The Age, and Australian Financial Review.
The relevance of the study is determined by the connection of the proposed research with the anthropocentric paradigm as well as the ever-increasing interest of modern scholars in the interrelations between gender, ethnicity, language and discourse.
The aim of the study is to explore the image of Aboriginal women via the headlines of Australian media publications and identify the key linguistic strategies involved in the media construction of Aboriginal women as a social group.
Objectives:
1) To establish the theoretical and methodological foundations for analyzing representations of social groups in media publications;
2) To present an overview of contemporary research into the representation of Aboriginal women in Australian media texts;
3) To analyze linguistic strategies involved in the representation of Aboriginal women in the headlines of newspapers.
The following research methods have been used: discourse analysis, critical discourse analysis, pragmatic analysis, structural-semantic and structural-syntactic methods, text linguistics, cognitive linguistics and gender analysis.
No systematic investigation into representations of female First Australians in media headlines has been undertaken until now, which adds novelty to this study.
The theoretical significance of the study lies in deepening our knowledge on the mechanisms involved in the construction of the collective image of Aboriginal women through various linguistic means, such as the use of cliches, emotional and evaluative markers; syntactic constructions such as passive constructions, infinitives, predominance of verbal constructions over nominal ones.
The findings of the study can be used to develop university courses in Gender Linguistics and Linguo-cultural Studies of Australia, which yields practical significance to the proposed research.
