(De)Legitimation of Restrictive Abortion in The Star Online and Malaysiakini
The news media operates not only as a channel of information but also as a persuasive force that shapes and (de)legitimises values, ideologies and social norms. Although Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) has traditionally focused on hard news to uncover media ideologies, the role of soft news in reflecting the perspectives of targeted social groups remains underexamined especially in taboo areas such as restrictive abortion. This study employs Va…

COVID-19 has been one of the most threatening infectious diseases in recent years, and China, the epicenter of this epidemic, has suffered a national image crisis, which calls for urgent actions to achieve self-image construction.

Post-editing challenges in Chinese-to-English neural machine translation of movie subtitles
Subtitle translation has been a longstanding factor hindering the overseas development of Chinese movies. The potential of using Neural Machine Translation (NMT) as an innovative solution has yet to be studied. This case study aims to integrate Google Neural Machine Translation (GNMT) into the Chinese-into-English subtitle translation of Chinese movies. The research identifies errors in GNMT-generated subtitles per Pedersen's FAR model and develo…

This study employs van Leeuwen’s theory of representation of social actors to investigate how nomination and categorisation strategies are employed in portraying Nur Sajat. Previous studies related to the representation of the LGBT community have only focus…
Ideological Representations of People with Mental Illness in Malaysian Online Newspapers
The news media’s role in shaping knowledge about mental illness has long been recognised as one of the primary conduits through which the public learns about people with mental health conditions. Despite a proliferation of research on media portrayals of mental illness, there seems to be a lack of studies critically examining how people with mental illness (PwMI) are constructed in mainstream and independent newspapers, especially in the Malaysia…
The Corporeal and Monstrosity of Supernatural Entities
Female characters in horror fiction are often constructed by the image of their body, which emphasises an innermost marker as sexual beings. The current study focuses on the depiction of Pontianak, a supernatural entity famous in Malay folklore, in selected short stories written by Tunku Halim. A critical discourse method, Fairclough’s (1995) three-dimensional framework, was incorporated to analyse data. Lexical structures, as expressed in the se…

Methodology: Based on the association of ideology and critical discourse analysis as well as considering manipulation as one of the central concepts of it, the study employs CDA as …
Malaysian high schoolers’ reading literacy performance
Reading literacy is often understood as a basic skill, and it is gaining recognition as the most functional means to educational attainment and individual development. It not only sets a benchmark but also reveals students’ strengths and weaknesses through performance measurement. This paper attempts to investigate sixteen-year-olds’ reading literacy proficiency using a performance band system in reporting their ‘can’s and ‘cant’s in reading. It …
