Abstract

Background: The Russia-Ukraine conflict has generated an extensive humanitarian crisis in which media representations play a crucial role in shaping global perceptions of civilian suffering. While previous studies have shown that Western media tend to foreground Ukrainian victimhood and marginalize Russian civilian experiences, the representational practices of non-Western news organizations such as Al Jazeera remain underexplored. Aims: This study aims to examine how Al Jazeera represents Ukrainian and Russian civilians in its coverage of the Russia-Ukraine war and to identify ideological positioning reflected through linguistic patterns in the reporting. Method: The study employs a corpus-assisted discourse analysis (CADS) approach. A corpus of 20 Al Jazeera news articles published between 2022 and 2025 was analyzed using keyword frequency and collocation analysis, combined with qualitative interpretation based on Fairclough’s three-dimensional model and the concepts of civilian victimhood and empathy framing. Results: The analysis reveals a marked asymmetry in representation. Ukrainian civilians are predominantly associated with harm-related lexis and collocational patterns that emphasize vulnerability, humanitarian response, and demographic specificity. In contrast, Russian civilians appear far less frequently and are mainly linked to administrative or material damage descriptors, resulting in reduced emotional salience and narrative visibility. Implications: These findings provide empirical evidence that Al Jazeera constructs a hierarchy of civilian suffering that aligns with broader geopolitical narratives. The study contributes to corpus-based media discourse analysis by demonstrating how linguistic patterns reveal ideological positioning in conflict reporting and by highlighting the need for more balanced journalistic portrayals to support critical media literacy.

Abstract

The issue of student mental health has received increasing attention in online media coverage as academic pressure and institutional demands in higher education have increased. This study aims to analyze how student mental health is represented in the online media Kumparan through a corpus linguistic approach combined with framing theory (Entman, 1993), Fairclough’s (1995; Critical Discourse Analysis 2010), and the corpus linguistic methodological perspectives of Baker (2006) and McEnery & Hardie (2012). The research data consisted of 30 news articles published between 2021 and 2025 and analyzed using AntConc software through word frequency, collocation, and keyword in context (KWIC) techniques. The results showed that students were represented as a vulnerable group experiencing academic pressure, while campuses were ambiguously positioned as both a source of pressure and a provider of psychological support. The main findings explicitly confirm that the media predominantly frames the issue of student mental health in an individualistic manner rather than as a structural or institutional problem. This study reinforces corpus-based media framing studies in the context of the discourse on student mental health in Indonesia.
