Following van Dijk’s framework, the study examines the ideological role of language within media discourse. The tools of analysis include headlines, leads, lexical choices, reported speech, unnamed sources, and silenced texts. The findings of the study show that there are differences between the four newspapers in the coverage of the two incidents. The analysis also reveals different ideological attitudes among writers. ii AKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am grateful to my Advisor professor Karen Adams for her support, and for her guidance and patience. I am also grateful to professors Elenore Long and Mathew Prior for their helpful comments and suggestions.

The purpose of the study is to compare the representation of the CPVPV issues in four different Saudi newspapers, examining how “language works in society to create better or worse worlds, institutions, and human relationships” (Gee, 2014, p. 13). In addition, part of the aim is to prove that CDA is a linguistic approach that can contribute to the resolution of social problems by analyzing social action discourse. CPVPV is a religious institution in Saudi Arabia that has received media attention during the last decade. Some social actors talk about the violent practices of the CPVPV and how CPVPV has become a broad social problem in Saudi society, while others criticize this view and think it merely highlights individual cases because of critics’ differing ideological stances. Although the debate over social issues constitutes healthy interaction within society, the debate over the CPVPV issues has produced prejudiced, negative labels and disrespectful communication toward many people who have participated in this debate. Because the news media, especially newspapers, constitute the primary method for communicating information regarding CPVPV issues via the essential tool of linguistics, it is especially important to see how newspapers portray and interpret CPVPV issues. The media discourse plays a functional ideological role and also has an important role to play in the formation of public opinion 1 (Kress, 1983; Lassen, Strunck, & Vestergaard, 2006; van Dijk, 1998). Although the CPVPV issues have been the subject of several academic studies, no single study (to the best of my knowledge) examines the representation of CPVPV issues in Saudi newspapers from a CDA perspective. This study aims to contribute to the body of research in this area. Study Questions The study aims to answer the following questions: 1. How is the CPVPV discursively represented in the news coverage of Alriyadh, Okaz , Alsharq , and Alwatan newspapers? 2. How is language used to explain, interpret, and criticize CPVPV issues during the news coverage? 3. How are the techniques of intertextual representation employed during the news coverage? 4. What is included in texts and what is excluded from texts? The Significance of the Study In the present study, I contribute to critical discourse studies regarding the journalistic language of Saudi newspapers. Only Alawadh (2014) has examined the discourse of the Saudi press via CDA, an increasingly important area in linguistics. This study also helps to bridge a gap between linguistics and other fields, such as media, communication, and social studies. This study, to the best of my knowledge, is the first that deals with the representation of CPVPV issues in Saudi print media from a CDA perspective. Although a few studies have discussed the portrayal of CPVPV in the Saudi media (Aleid, 2 Almutairi, Alaqeel, & Alabdan, 2008; Alqarni, 2010; Alshammari, 2010; Qasim, 2010), none has examined the topic using a linguistic approach. In addition, the significance of my study lies in its potential to contribute to the discussion concerning the relationship between the CPVPV and the media. The importance of the CPVPV studies and issues has increased in Saudi universities. In the last 5 years, five leading Saudi universities have established research chairs for CPVPV studies 1: • Chair of King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz for AlHesba (Enjoining the Right and Forbidding the Wrong) and its Contemporary Application at King Saud University 2; • Chair Prince Sultan Youth Research and Hisbah Issues at King Abdulaziz University; • Chair Prince Naif bin Abdulaziz for the Study of the Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice at Islamic University in Madinah; • King Salman bin Abdulaziz Research Chair for Improving Capabilities of CPVPV at Al -Imam Muhammad Ibn Saud Islamic University; • Women and Hisbah Research Chair at Hail University.

In the light of this, there was a significant change in physical behavior in the community. The aim of the current study was to investigate the national and regional distribution of physical activity practice among adults aged ≥15 y across Saudi Arabia. Methods: Data from the Bulletin of Household Sports Practice National Survey were used to determine the physical activity practice distribution. A total of 26 000 families from 13 administrative regions across Saudi Arabia were surveyed. Results: The proportion of the total Saudi population who were practitioners of physical activity (i.e. ≥150 min per week) among Saudi adults aged ≥15 y was 17.40%, while the proportion of non-practitioners was 82.60%. Conclusion: This study found a low level of physical activity among Saudi adults who meet physical activity guidelines. These findings suggest that interventions and promotional programs should be developed to increase physical activity among the Saudi population.

This study aimed to determine the epidemiological trends of malaria infection in five western regions of Saudi Arabia. Methodology: A retrospective analysis was conducted to investigate the epidemiological trends of malaria infection in the western regions, based on the published registry of the Saudi Ministry of Health, during the period from 2014 to 2017 using the appropriate statistical tools. Results: A total of 8925 confirmed cases of malaria were reported in the western regions during the period from 2014 to 2017 with the mean of 2231 malaria cases per year. The minimum (n = 1097) and maximum (n = 4075) number of cases were reported in 2014 and 2016 respectively. The highest (n = 5919, 66.3%) number of cases were reported from Jazan region, while lowest (n = 86, 1.0%) number of cases were reported from Al-Bahah region. Plasmodium falciparum was the most frequently reported species with 7485 (83.9%) cases, while Plasmodium vivax accounted 1386 (15.5%) cases.

  • Xerox University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
