Representation of the British Suffrage Movement Summary

Representation of the British Suffrage Movement by Dr Kat Gupta (Researcher at the University of Nottingham, UK)

Focussing on The Times, this monograph uses corpus linguistics to examine how suffrage campaigners' different ideologies were conflated in the newspaper over a crucial time period for the movement - 1908 to 1914, leading up to the Representation of the People Act in 1918. Looking particularly at representations of suffrage campaigners' support of or opposition to military action, Gupta uses a range of methodological approaches drawn from corpus linguistics, discourse analysis and CDA. These include: collocation analysis, examination of consistent significant collocates and van Leeuwen's taxonomy of social actors. The book offers an innovative insight into contemporary public understanding of the suffrage campaign with implications for researchers examining large, complex protest movements.

Representation of the British Suffrage Movement Reviews

This volume is an exemplary study showcasing how a triangulation of corpus linguistic methods with discourse analytical theories and techniques can offer systematic insights into the public discourse of a protest movement, contributing to a better understanding of histoire des mentalites and social history in general. Written in an accessible way, this volume is an excellent model of analytical and methodological interdisciplinarity, and an inspiration for students, researchers and scholars interested in studying discourse in its social and historical dimensions. * Discourse & Society *
