Introduction
Recent global statistics reveal a concerning increase in extreme poverty, exacerbated by social and political upheavals such as the COVID-19 pandemic and economic crises. Despite poverty being a well-established research topic in various fields, linguistic analyses remain scant. This special issue on the discourses of poverty, of which this introduction is a part, explores the multifaceted nature of poverty through a discourse analytical lens, hi…
Postscript
As we reach the end of our time as editors of the Journal of Language and Discrimination, we have chosen to reflect on what the journal has achieved in the past five years. This piece is not going to meet the criteria required of a formal piece of academic writing. Part of the motivation for setting up this journal was to encourage people from within academia and without to publish a range of different types of output that were focused more on th…

Editor of the Journal of Language and Discrimination, Dr Isabelle van der Bom, in conversation with Sara Mills, Emeritus Professor in Linguistics at Sheffield Hallam University. Professor Sara Mills’ research has mainly focused on gender and feminism and politeness

Opposition as victimhood in newspaper debates about same-sex marriage
In this article, we take a queer linguistics approach to the analysis of data from British newspaper articles that discuss the introduction of same-sex marriage. Drawing on methods from critical discourse analysis (CDA) and corpus linguistics, we focus on the construction of agency in relation to the government extending marriage to same-sex couples, and those resisting this. We show that opponents to same-sex marriage are represented and represe…

A discursive approach to the analysis of politeness data
This paper aims to provide an exemplification of the way that the discursive approach can work in relation to the analysis of data. As such, it argues for the validity of the discursive approach to politeness. Because the discursive approach has been seen as difficult to employ in the analysis of data, in recent years, there has been a proliferation of research returning to Brown and Levinson’s approach. Although discursive approaches to politene…
Implicit homophobic argument structure
This article analyses the linguistic and discursive elements which contribute to the production of implicit homophobia. Explicit homophobia has been well documented and strategies for countering discriminatory language have been developed (Baker 2014, Leap 2012). However, our interest here is in documenting implicit homophobia, where homophobic beliefs are only hinted at, are disassociated from the speaker, or are embedded within discursive and a…
