Why choose this project topic?
An examination of how editorial pronouns construct inclusion and exclusion 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 editorial pronouns construct inclusion and exclusion within a dated corpus of English editorials from three Nigerian newspapers?
Choose the corpus size, sampling period and annotation framework for how editorial pronouns construct inclusion and exclusion; confirm access before fixing the title.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Identify the linguistic forms involved in how editorial pronouns construct inclusion and exclusion.
- 02Compile a documented and ethically accessible dataset from a dated corpus of English editorials from three Nigerian newspapers.
- 03Resolve pronoun referents in context and compare whose interests are represented by collective expressions.
A suggested research approach
Agree access and selection criteria for a dated corpus of English editorials from three Nigerian newspapers. Resolve pronoun referents in context and compare whose interests are represented by collective expressions. 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 dated corpus of English editorials from three Nigerian newspapers
- An annotation guide covering how editorial pronouns construct inclusion and exclusion
- A secure anonymisation procedure and any required ethics approval
Keep your project scope clear
The constructed editorial audience may differ from the publication's actual readership.
