This chapter explores the linguistic strategies embedded within Malaysian climate change opinion news discourse by focusing on the keyword and frequency patterns in two newspapers: Malaysiakini, representing the alternative/tabloid press, and New Straits Times (NST), as a mainstream newspaper. Using corpus-assisted techniques, the analysis uncovers the dominant lexical choices and discursive orientations that characterise the way climate change is presented to Malaysian publics. The contrast between Malaysiakini and NST provides insights into how alternative versus mainstream media negotiate authority, urgency, and responsibility within environmental communication. This chapter starts with describing the corpus information for both newspapers, followed by the keyword and frequency observations.

摘要

This chapter explores the linguistic strategies embedded within Malaysian climate change opinion news discourse by focusing on the keyword and frequency patterns in two newspapers: Malaysiakini, representing the alternative/tabloid press, and New Straits Times (NST), as a mainstream newspaper. Using corpus-assisted techniques, the analysis uncovers the dominant lexical choices and discursive orientations that characterise the way climate change is presented to Malaysian publics. The contrast between Malaysiakini and NST provides insights into how alternative versus mainstream media negotiate authority, urgency, and responsibility within environmental communication. This chapter starts with describing the corpus information for both newspapers, followed by the keyword and frequency observations.
