This is a thesis proposal i passed for another one of my courses from my graduate school.
it provides 2 comprehensive chapters aiming to:
1. determine the textual and discursive processes were utilized in the news coverage of the Philippine ?War on Drugs? in terms of: lexicalization and predication, verbal processes, presupposition, intertextuality, topicality.
2. determine how social actors (e.g. the ?victims?, the government, president, etc.) represented in the news coverage of the ?War on Drugs?? and;
3. discover the discursive and sociopolitical practices that can explain these differences.
