| dc.description.abstract | The present dissertation is a corpus-based study that is concerned with the critical discourse analysis of the docu-drama entitled “The Social Dilemma” directed by Jeff Orlowsky. This investigation examines the linguistic tools used by tech industry experts in their discourse to establish ideologies and maintain power, as well as the impact of the tech industry experts discourse on the viewers of that documentary. Our research is a critical discourse analysis of experts’ utterances where elements of quantitative analysis are incorporated to CDA to complement the results obtained through the use of Norman Fairclough’s three stages: description, interpretation, and explanation. The corpus consists of the discourse of Sillicon Valley experts. Therefore, this research revealed that those experts used some linguistic tools such as repeating words, synonyms, hyponyms, and antonyms, sentence processes and modes as well as modal verbs and pronouns in order to deliver their ideologies. This study showed also that “The Social Dilemma” had a great impact on its viewers as it changed their perceptions towards social media. | |
