  • 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.

The match will be the 91st time the Shield has been contested. The only match ever to go to a replay was the very first - in 1908. No club has a Shield pedigree like Manchester United. They were its first winners and have now clocked up a record 15 successes. They have shared the Shield an additional four times and have featured in a total of 28 contests. Wigan Athletic, by contrast, were a non-League club until 1978 and are playing the first Shield match in their 81-year history. The FA Charity Shield, its name until 2002, evolved from the Sheriff of London Shield - an annual fixture between the leading professional and amateur clubs of the time.

If you're a Liverpool fan, or a fan of Millie, you'll be sure to like this book, as he gives little insights into the team and the life of a football. But it gave me such hunger and you knew your place. Milner also reveals that he and Andy Robertson, his Liverpool teammate, have used a sleep-talking app — which proves that Milner speaks in Spanish while asleep. I expect my players to get better by training every week and working them to their full potential. Yes, I've noticed a difference in my level of play and contribution to the team.

  • 13 March 2012 Opposition: Everton Competition
    13 March2012 13 Date: 13 March 2012 Telegraph Echo Opposition: Everton Mirror Mail Independent Guardian Competition: League Captain's inspirational lead lifts Liverpool out of the doldrums It is galling enough to be beaten in a derby fixture, but Everton found themselves contributing to the sort of high spirits that had gone missing at Anfield. The glee for the home side was enhanced by the fact that a hat-trick for their captain, Steven Gerrard, was completed in stoppage time. There were other causes of concern for Everton on the night, particularly in the shape of the elusive Luis Suarez, who set up that concluding goal. The motivation was great for the Uruguayan and everyone else in the lineup as they strove to make amends for recent shortcomings. No Liverpool player had notched a hat-trick in this fixture since Ian Rush claimed four goals at Goodison in 1982. Gerrard will cherish this occasion, but the jubilation may have practical benefits as well. The victors needed 90 minutes of this sort to make their way out of the doldrums. Kenny Dalglish's players will have left the ground feeling more sure of themselves than they have in weeks. By the close, it was impossible to believe that Liverpool had endured three consecutive defeats in the Premier League before this match. By the end they had equalled their highest score of the league campaign. Everton are usually outstanding in battling their limitations, but there was a technique and deadliness to Liverpool that could not be resisted. If the victors have any anxieties at all they will lie in the fear that Suarez might prefer to move to another country to earn a living after that eight-game ban for racial abuse of Patrice Evra.
