OverviewConstructed opposition has proved as viable an area ofresearch as traditional antonymy, and a useful tool in looking at ideologicallyorientated texts. This book investigateshow binary oppositions are constructed discursively and the potentialideological repercussions of their usage in news reports in the British press.The focus is particularly on the positive presentation ofgroups and individuals subsumed under the first person plural pronouns 'us' and'we', and the simultaneous marginalization of groups designated as 'they' or'them'. Exploring the dynamic relations between the linguistic system andlanguage in context this is a key publication for those involved in discourseanalysis and stylistics.
