An appropriated interdisciplinary blend of Critical Discourse Analysis (henceforth CDA) is employed to lay bare the discursive strategies appropriated by William Shakespeare to safely express his pragmatic philosophy of politics and religiosity in Acts 4 and 5 of Richard II. This study attempts to bring together linguistic, sociocognitive, and critical metaphorical aspects in one single CDA framework. Serving methods and tools of analysis from various well-known CDA approaches such as Fairclough (1989 and 1995), Van Dijk (1993 and 2001), and the Critical Metaphor Analysis (henceforth CMA) model (e.g., Lakoff and Johnson, 1980) are selected to fulfil the aims of analysis. The horrendous fate of King Richard II is an exemplar that evidently embodies Shakespeare’s preach of political pragmatism against a deep-rooted holistic system of politico-religious justified by alleged divine...

This research anchors on the mental processes which link text production and text comprehension models to explicit text and talk products as well as to social and political pragmatic phenomena to study the two American candidates' electoral marketing of the hope-maker Self against the hope-destructor Other.

Forty-eight General English (30) and EAP (18) writing assignments produced by Health, Engineering, and Science students are collected and quantitatively and qualitatively analysed. Lexical error taxonomy and error analysis procedure are methodologically based on James (1998) and Ellis (1997). Respectively, errors are identified, classified, described and evaluated. First, grammatical and lexical collocations (adjective + noun, noun + noun, noun + verb, verb + adverb, verb + preposition, and verb + expression with preposition) are analysed. Second, lexical weakness and inappropriacy are identified and proceeded. Third, restricted use of vocabulary and inadequate lexical choices (levels of word distribution) are probed and studied. AntConc Software and Oxford Text Checker are used to carry out data-driven analyses.

Formative and summative writing assessments are the source of this paper’s pertinent data collected from the e-learning platform - Oxford Blackboard Learn. Errors mainly based on sentence categories, sentence fragments, long run on structures, and clausal relationships (coordination and subordination) are central features of analysis. Qualitative and quantitative approaches are integrated to validate the present claims of the study. Among other models, Corder (1974)’s, Ellis (1997)'s, and James (2013)'s Error Analysis (EA) procedures have methodologically instigated the processing of PYP students’ sentence structure errors. This paper has provided summative analyses and interpretations of a good number of structure errors that can be of academic and pedagogical service.

The candidates spatially invite what serves in the play of framing and instantiation of vital economic issues to highlight the potential journey from negative to positive spaces (e.g. from back to front and vice versa, from low to high and vice versa, out of threat to peace and vice versa … etc) in order to either metaphorically aggravate the economic status quo and hence accentuate the need for the "proper" president savior (the present candidate), or to open up horizons of potential positive economic change if elected president.
