    Open Access•Mark Nartey•ARTICLE•Communication and the Public•2026

    This article analyzes the COVID-19 addresses delivered by Ghana’s former president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, and argues that aspects of his crisis communication function as an uplifting discourse intended to boost the morale of Ghanaians, transform their mood, and invoke optimism across the country. The analysis identifies three motifs that contribute to this inspirational discourse: (1) stoicism and resilience, (2) hope and inspiration, and …

  • Exposing and Resisting Toxic Masculinity in the Mediascape

    Open Access•Mark Nartey, Laura M Tunstall•ARTICLE•Men and Masculinities•2026•Referências: 28

    Despite the burgeoning research on the manosphere, there is little linguistic work on ‘manfluencers’. To fill this gap, this study examines how Andrew Tate uses his X account to disseminate harmful ideologies that discursively frame masculinity in toxic terms. Our analysis identifies three main discourses of Tate: male supremacist discourse, homophobic discourse, and sexist, misogynistic discourse. Our analysis also illustrates that Tate reifies …

  • An Examination of Legitimation in Kwame Nkrumah’s Anti-colonial Resistance Discourse

    Open Access•Mark Nartey•ARTICLE•Journal of Asian and African…•2026•Referências: 31

    This article analyzes the strategies employed by Kwame Nkrumah, a pioneering pan-Africanist and Ghana’s independence leader, to legitimize his resistance discourse against colonialism. The findings show that Nkrumah used authorization, moral evaluation, and rationalization to formulate a conviction rhetoric intended to expose the iniquities of the colonizers and place a moral responsibility on Africans to vehemently oppose the continent’s saboteu…

  • The construction of agency in the discourse of Barbados’ prime minister Mia Mottley

    Open Access•Mark Nartey•ARTICLE•Journal of Language and Politics•2024•Referências: 28

    Informed by a critical discourse analytical approach to agency, this paper examines the construction of agency in the speeches of Mia Mottley, the prime minister of Barbados. The analysis reveals that she enacts her agency in three main ways: (1) constructing strong and decisive leadership, (2) sculpting a ‘prophetess’ image and (3) issuing a clarion call to action. These processes enable her to project her voice, foreground the issues that are r…

    Open Access•Kwabena Sarfo Sarfo-Kantankah, Richmond S Ngula et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Language and Politics•2024•Citada por: 4•Referências: 42

    This article analyzes tweets produced during the 'fix the country' campaign on Ghanaian Twitter.

The findings reveal three main discursive strategies utilized in the tweets to construct the protest as a discourse of contestation in…
