Summary The study investigates the construction of femininity ideologies of girls-only school websites in Thailand and deconstructs them for analysis at the lexical level. Ideological beliefs underlying the custom of upbringing of young women in Thai cultural contexts are the focus of investigation. We pay a particular attention to how the schools communicate their key messages of vision, mission, core values, and about us on their websites and conduct a corpus-driven discourse analysis on the data. Findings from running tests of frequency and collocation reveal the traits of femininity constructed in the discourse, built the praising of obedience, submissiveness and lady-like features. We conclude that benevolent sexism is a common cultural practice evident in educational institutions.

Although there were many studies of Political Discourse had been done in CDA approach, but still few studies concern withrelation of ideology and language in the discourse. This study aims to, 1) find the ideological discourse structureswhich are used to enhance ideology in political speeches delivered by Donald Trump and 2) reveal the ideologies found in the speeches of Donald Trump about National Security. The analysis in this study is based on Fairclough’s(1992 )framework of Critical Discourse Analysis which consists of three levels of analysis; textual, discursive practice and socio-cultural practice. Then, for textual analysis, the writer used one analytical tool that is the theory of Ideological Discourse Structure of the discourse by Van Dijk (2000). The results showed that Donald Trump used language tactfully to achieve his goal on politics. The conclusion obtained is that Donald Trump enhances fascist ideology in his speeches which can be seen through the ideological structure of discourse which is found in his political speech on National Security.

This article arises from a biographical qualitative approach with students in situation of socio-cultural disadvantage who suffer academic failure. Its aim is to explore the language used by these children from the perspective of critical discourse analysis, as well as to analyze the linguistic strategies chosen in representing social actors and actions, and linguistic-discursive features. In addition, speakers create a more strengthened discourse of their own group from a semiotic perspective, as opposed to the hierarchy and depersonalization in their relationships with the educational institutions. The distance between the language of school requests and the language they use within their primary groups favors failure and isolation.

Пандемия COVID-19 привела к самой большой неудаче в работе системы образования, которая затронула около 1,6 миллиарда учеников в более чем 190 странах и на всех континентах. Закрытие школ и других образовательных учреждений составило 94 процента мирового контингента учащихся, в странах с низким и средним уровнем дохода этот показатель составляет 99 процентов. Кроме того, расходы на образование угрожают охватить будущие поколения и устранить прогресс, достигнутый в течение десятилетий, что способствует доступности образования для девочек и молодых женщин и их продолжению обучения. Если говорить об экономических последствиях пандемии, то в следующем году еще 23,8 миллиона детей и молодых людей (от детей дошкольного возраста до студентов высших учебных заведений) могут бросить учебу или не получить доступ к образованию. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the biggest failure of the education system, affecting about 1.6 billion students in more than 190 countries and on all continents. The closure of schools and other educational institutions accounted for 94 per cent of the global student population, compared to 99 per cent in low-and middle-income countries. In addition, spending on education threatens to reach future generations and reverse the progress made over decades, which contributes to the accessibility of education for girls and young women and their continuing education. In terms of the economic impact of the pandemic, an additional 23.8 million children and young people (from pre-school children to university students) may drop out or not have access to education next year.

In the young adult novels Shadowshaper (2015) by Daniel José Older and Labyrinth Lost (2016) by Zoraida Córdova, Sierra Santiago and Alejandra Mortiz are the inheritors of great power in their respective cultural communities: shadowshaping, the ability to provide spirits with a physical form through drawing, murals, sculpture, or storytelling; and the Deathday, a ceremony to celebrate a bruja (or brujo) receiving her particular ability, including elemental control, healing, and/or defense, among others. Yet initially, through acts of refusal, the young women are outside of the material, ritual, and cultural practices of their communities.

International Migrants

Taking an origin-destination linked approach, we compare remittance behaviors of Fuzhou-US and Mingxi-Europe migrants. We find that different mechanisms predict propensity to remit and the amount of remittances. Altruistic remittance is more consistent with the remitting propensities of migrants from the poorer Mingxi region but is also reflected in the remittance amount of migrants from Fuzhou, where there is higher economic disparity and where people who fail to consume lavishly are socially sanctioned. When emigration is risky, circuitous, and expensive, we find, migration cost drives the remittance amount. In Fuzhou, where cultural practice is developed to confer honor on public project donors, more households are motivated to contribute to public infrastructure. These results provide economic, political, and cultural contexts for remittance theories, identify contexts that promote community development, and help reconcile debates derived from single case studies in various settings.

This study comparatively analyses the allusion and analogies of Indonesian Presidents’ by wayang characters and stories. It particularly interrogates how wayang characters and lakon allude and mediate the personal and political identities of Indonesian presidents in the Reformasi era. The study focuses on the portrayal of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Jokowi during Reformasi era. The study is a qualitative research and deploying Textual and Critical Discourse Analysis approaches. These are to examine how language in the selected wayang kulit and wayang golek stories, as a form of social and cultural practice, constructs the personal and political identities of the presidents. Central to the analysis, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is in most cases alluded as Semar, and his association with selected lakon significantly inform on the political and personal identities among Indonesians and the International community. On the other hand, Jokowi is alluded to as Petruk but presenting contradicting allusions and analogies in Indonesian politics. Generally, findings suggest that the portrayal of Indonesian presidents’ identities by wayang characters and in the lakon is never fixed. The change of political atmosphere and failure to meet peoples’ expectations culminate in changes on the portrayal of political and personal identities of presidents.

Disabled Students

Higher educational institutions (HEIs) often categorise certain students as 'disabled' in order to support inclusive and equitable study. 'Disabled' students studying in higher education may be asked to 'disclose a disability', request and agree 'reasonable adjustments' that their institution will 'provide' them, and engage with processes such as applying for 'Disabled Students' Allowance'. However, there is little understanding of preferences and comfort with language in this area, and if students do not i dentify with terms such as 'disabled', this can create barriers to requesting or accessing support. This paper describes a qualitative study to investigate language preferences for common points of communication with the HEI. We held interviews and focus groups with students (n=12) and utilised discourse analysis to investigate the language used and student perceptions of language. We identified three distinct models of language used to discuss study needs relating to a 'disability', each with language nor ms and specific nomenclature. Furthermore, we found divergence in preferences in language, leading us to argue that differential and inclusive approaches to language use should be explored.

The pandemic caused by Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) has an impact on all levels of society in Indonesia. The people who are below the poverty line are no exception. The government's call for physical distancing by stopping many sectors of the economy, further worsening the welfare of the underprivileged. One of non-governmental social organization that was launched on its Instagram page, helping a lot of those in distress, is the Chakra Abhipraya Responsif. In carrying out its activities, the Cakra Abhipraya Responsif is assisted by many parties which makes it easier for them to reach more targets with maximum results. This research tries to look at the communication strategy launched by the Cakra Abhipraya Responsif and their fundraising program through the language they use on their Instagram page. Using Fairclough's critical discourse analysis, the text is analyzed through three components, namely text, discourse practice, and socio-cultural practice. Then by discussing Bourdieu's theory of Habitus and looking far behind the scenes, it can be concluded that social capital in the form of the background/relations of the Cakra Abhipraya Responsif volunteers influences a lot in the implementation of their activities. Although information about social organizations is quite minimal on the internet. The Cakra Abhipraya Responsif communication strategy uses a caption writing style that flicks the audience by focusing their fundraising on communities whose economies have indeed been in decline long before the existence of this pandemic.   Keywords: COVID-19, communication strategy, critical discourse analysis, social capital, habitus
