  • A Comparative Study of After-Match Reports on 'Lost'and 'Won'football
    International Journal of Applied Linguistics & English Literature ISSN 2200-3592 (Print), ISSN 2200-3452 (Online) Vol. 4 No. 1; January 2015 Copyright © Australian International Academic Centre, Australia A Comparative Study Of After-match Reports On ‘Lost’ And ‘Won’ Football Games Within The Framework Of Critical Discourse Analysis Biook Behnam Department of English, Islamic Azad University, Tabriz, Iran E-mail: [email protected] Hasan Jahanban Isfahlan (Corresponding Author) Department of English, Islamic Azad University, Tabriz, Iran E-mail: [email protected] Received: 09-07-2014 Accepted: 02-09-2014 Published: 01-01-2015 doi:10.7575/aiac.ijalel.v.4n.1p.115 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.7575/aiac.ijalel.v.4n.1p.115 Abstract In spite of the obvious differences in research styles, all critical discourse analysts aim at exploring the role of discourse in the production and reproduction of power relations within social structures. Nowadays, after-match written reports are prepared immediately after every football match and provide the readers with the apparently objective representations of important events and occurrences of the game. The authors of this paper analyzed four after-match reports (retrieved from Manchester United’s own website), two regarding their lost games and two on their won games. Hodge and Kress’s (1996) framework was followed in the analysis of the grammatical features of the texts at hand. Also, taking into consideration the pivotal role of lexicalization as one dimension of the textualization process (Fairclough, 2012), vocabulary and more specifically the choice of specific verbs, nouns, adverbs and noun or noun phrase modification were examined.

It was a difficult season for Arsenal. The team finished 6th in the league – it’s worst position for over 20 years. During the season, Arsenal lost two great attacking players in Alexis Sanchez (who went to Man Utd), and Olivier Giroud (who went to Chelsea). You can see from the table below that those two guys took lots of shots. Arsenal needed to replace them to keep scoring goals. Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang came to the club and did just that.
