A Discursive Analysis Of Social Class Distinction In Commonwealth Films. Case Study Of My Eternal By Trina N. Dayrit And Jerry L. Sineneng (2012) And Bad Angel By Tanwie Elvis (2015) (2018)
This work is a discursive analysis of social class distinction in the films My Eternal and Bad Angel. The main objective of the dissertation was to find out the extent to which language use in both films reflects conflicts caused by social class distinction. To examine the language, use the following research questions were enacted: what are the discourses on social class distinction identified in the films? How are the paralinguistic aspects that portray social class distinction presented in the films? How is the concept of social class distinction linguistically and discursively constructed? The attempted answers to these questions were: The films present discourses on social class distinction, the films present paralinguistic resources that portray social class distinction, linguistic and discursive strategies are used in portraying social class distinction. The data of this work was drawn up of two telenovelas. One is produced in the Philippines and the other is produced in Cameroon. The data was be the discourses and images that reflect social class distinction. This study was carried within the framework of Critical Discourse Analysis, drawing especially from Multimodal Discourse Analysis of Van Leeuwen, the Systemic Functional Linguistics of Halliday to analyse the discourse and the Visual Grammar of Van Leeuwen to analyse the images. The results obtained prove that language use in portraying social class distinction reflects conflict. In other words, the linguistic and discursive strategies used in portraying social class distinction mirror conflict.
KEY WORDS: discursive, discourse, social class distinction, Multimodal discourse analysis, conflict
