Indian News Media Versus the Belt and Road Initiative: A Corpus-Based Critical Discourse Analysis

Indian News Media Versus the Belt and Road Initiative: A Corpus-Based Critical Discourse Analysis

Contenido principal del artículo

Resumen

La Iniciativa de la Franja y la Ruta (BRI), un proyecto geopolítico de China, ha atraído la atención mundial. La BRI tiene un impacto significativo en el comercio internacional, la política regional y la dinámica global, y la India ocupa una posición central en los objetivos estratégicos y las perspectivas económicas de esta. Este estudio examina la representación de la Iniciativa de la Franja y la Ruta (BRI) en los medios de comuni­cación indios. Esta imagen es importante porque refleja la percepción pública y guber­namental de la iniciativa, que a su vez infor­ma la respuesta y la política de la India hacia este importante proyecto internacional. Esta investigación emplea el análisis críti­co del discurso (CDA) basado en corpus para examinar una variedad diversa de artículos destacados de periódicos y medios de comunicación digitales indios. Este méto­do es empírico en su estudio del lenguaje, los temas y las narrativas de los medios, y proporciona resultados numéricos sobre la frecuencia o la aparición de un lenguaje específico, así como variaciones de patrones relacionados con el discurso. Además, ofre­ce información cualitativa sobre la situación y el impacto del lenguaje en cuestión. Los hallazgos de la investigación indican que los medios de comunicación indios desem­peñan un papel importante en la configura­ción del discurso en torno a la BRI.
