Abstract

The Egyptian military statements discourse in the 1967 and 1973 wars: a corpus-based analysis
This study analyzes two specialized linguistic corpora, the first of which consists of the Egyptian military statements during the war of 1967, and the second consists of the Egyptian military statements during the war of 1973. It combines the qualitative linguistic analysis procedures of discourse analysis and critical discourse analysis, which link the textual phenomena to their historical-social context and its balance of power, together with the quantitative linguistic analysis procedures of corpus linguistics, making use of linguistics analysis software like Wordsmith tools.
The study aims to explore the prominent linguistic features in each of the two corpora by extracting Keywords and examining their syntactic and semantic behavior, the reasons for their prominence, and how they change according to the contextual changes between the two wars, in addition to a general theoretical aim of exploring how critical discourse analysis of Arabic texts can make use of corpus analysis tools.
It consists of two parts: A theoretical part, which explains the subject of the study, its methodology, and some of its procedures and theoretical concepts. And a practical part, which applies the quantitative-qualitative analysis to the two corpora.
