Abstract

English in Bangladesh has evolved from colonial roots to come to signify opportunity, privilege, and socio-economic mobility. The role of English in the construction of linguistic capital in Bangladesh is examined in this work from the political economy perspective, theorizing language as commodity, power, and ideology based on a survey of 80 respondents. Findings illustrate almost complete agreement that English proficiency is shaped more by private forces and worldwide pressures than it is by national policy, replicating social stratification. Government efforts are considered by respondents as insufficient to democratize English access, whereas English dominance in elite employment markets still serves to enhance inequality. Yet, these findings also refer to increasing public awareness of English’s structural injustices. Future studies can take longitudinal ethnographic approaches in examining students’ lived experiences in this linguistic economy. Policymakers, in the meantime, need to envision English education as a public good, with a priority for equitable access, multilingual frameworks, and decolonized pedagogy to make English a bridge of inclusive development in Bangladesh.

Abstract

Media discourses in the US-Israel-Iran war serve not only as information dissemination but also as strategic tools of political economy. Thus, this study investigates the competing media discourses surrounding the 2026 US-Israel-Iran war, through the combined framework of CDA and the political economy of communication (PEC). Using a comparative corpus-based approach, the paper analyzes news reports and opinion articles published by Tehran Times and CNN between 28 February and 8 April 2026. The corpus consists of 301 articles from Tehran Times with 192205 tokens and 143 articles from CNN with 221754 tokens. The findings reveal that CNN primarily framed the conflict through security-centered and strategic narratives aligned with Western geopolitical interests, while Tehran Times constructed counter-hegemonic discourses emphasizing resistance, sovereignty, and anti-imperialist ideology. Through CDA model, the study demonstrates how linguistic choices and discursive practices reproduced broader social structures and power relations. Simultaneously, the PEC framework highlights the influence of ownership, ideology, and geopolitical alliances in shaping war reporting. However, to address the limitations of this study, future research can include multilingual, multimodal, and audience-centered analyses. Ultimately, the study argues that contemporary media discourse functions as a site of ideological struggle where global powers compete to define legitimacy, morality, and political reality in international conflicts.
