Myth and Reality: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Olaf Caroe’s “The Judgment”

Abstract

This article aims at investigating how social control and power
relationship are represented through language. It explores how
unequal relations between the dominant and dominated are
ideologically disguised and naturalized to the advantage of a
particular group. It identifies how dominant political positions
influence the public opinion. The text which constitutes the
data for the current study is a chapter titled “The Judgment”
taken from The Pathans- a book written by Olaf Caroe.
