A Critical Discourse Analysis of Sexism in Trump's Political Contexts

A Critical Discourse Analysis of Sexism in Trump's Political Contexts Language is not always seen as a neutral vehicle which represents reality. It is sometimes described as a tool which is drawn on to discriminate, insult, abuse, and belittle others. This is evident in the case of sexism which is seen as language that discriminates against women by representing them negatively. Thus, language is described as a potential that is drawn on strategically by sexists to devalue or marginalize women. This book is a critical discourse analysis of sexism in Trump's political contexts. It sheds light on Trump's negative evaluation of women. It aims to investigate the lexical, syntactic, pragmatic, and rhetorical strategies that are utilized for this purpose.
