Why choose this project topic?
An examination of how metaphors frame responsibility in climate-related news produces a manageable language question with observable evidence. It lets you connect English-language concepts to particular communicative choices instead of making unsupported judgments about speakers.
What patterns emerge in how metaphors frame responsibility in climate-related news within a bounded corpus of publicly accessible English Nigerian climate reports?
Choose the corpus size, sampling period and annotation framework for how metaphors frame responsibility in climate-related news; confirm access before fixing the title.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Identify the linguistic forms involved in how metaphors frame responsibility in climate-related news.
- 02Compile a documented and ethically accessible dataset from a bounded corpus of publicly accessible English Nigerian climate reports.
- 03Identify metaphors using a stated procedure and relate them to named actors and proposed actions.
A suggested research approach
Agree access and selection criteria for a bounded corpus of publicly accessible English Nigerian climate reports. Identify metaphors using a stated procedure and relate them to named actors and proposed actions. Pilot the annotation scheme, retain examples that challenge initial categories and report disagreements. Obtain institutional approval and informed consent before collecting participant data.
What you will need
- Permitted access to a bounded corpus of publicly accessible English Nigerian climate reports
- An annotation guide covering how metaphors frame responsibility in climate-related news
- A secure anonymisation procedure and any required ethics approval
Keep your project scope clear
Do not infer readers' beliefs or the scientific accuracy of reporting from metaphors alone.
