A PRAGMATIC STUDY OF PERSECUTION IN SOME SELECTED NEWSPAPERS AFTER AL-AQSA FLOODING OPERATION

This research investigates the pragmatic aspects of persecution narratives in various newspapers after the Al-Aqsa Flooding Operation, utilizing Searle's speech act analysis model.Through a detailed examination of multiple news articles, the study aims to identify and categorize the different speech acts used to convey themes of persecution.Searle's framework serves as a critical tool for understanding how language constructs and perpetuates narratives of victimization and animosity.The findings reveal how newspapers employ a range of speech acts to shape readers' perceptions, underscoring the active role of language in constructing reality.Importantly, the study demonstrates that both representative and expressive speech acts are predominant in the discourse, reflecting efforts to deliver factual information while also evoking emotional responses.Furthermore, it highlights the relationship between linguistic choices and ideological stances, uncovering how pragmatic analysis can reveal the subtle biases and persuasive strategies embedded in media narratives.This research deepens our understanding of media discourse in contexts of conflict, providing significant insights into how language influences public perceptions and social attitudes.
