Why choose this project topic?
An examination of how English news labels position disabled people as agents or objects 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 English news labels position disabled people as agents or objects within public Nigerian English articles selected with explicit disability-related inclusion terms?
Choose the corpus size, sampling period and annotation framework for how English news labels position disabled people as agents or objects; confirm access before fixing the title.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Identify the linguistic forms involved in how English news labels position disabled people as agents or objects.
- 02Compile a documented and ethically accessible dataset from public Nigerian English articles selected with explicit disability-related inclusion terms.
- 03Compare person references, quoted voices and grammatical roles using a transparent annotation guide.
A suggested research approach
Agree access and selection criteria for public Nigerian English articles selected with explicit disability-related inclusion terms. Compare person references, quoted voices and grammatical roles using a transparent annotation guide. 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 public Nigerian English articles selected with explicit disability-related inclusion terms
- An annotation guide covering how English news labels position disabled people as agents or objects
- A secure anonymisation procedure and any required ethics approval
Keep your project scope clear
Avoid treating one preferred terminology list as representing every disabled person's preference.
