Linguistics

In this study, we examine the relationship between language and power of its ideology based on examples of headlines about the protests of 2022, following the theorists who have developed a critical discourse analysis (CDA). With this approach, the paper aims to explore meanings, intentions and philosophies behind the headlines about the protests on the local mass media and international websites, as currently people mostly have social and mass media for the update news. Headlines in linguistics are analyzed in terms of different aspects. This study shows how different languages reveal the same ideological discourse according to lexical choice, repetition or relevance of keywords, syntax and grammar structure on the collected 200 headlines from a variety of sources. This linguistic analysis is briefly focused on CDA of news headlines shows how and what key language is used and brought to the readers before reading the news articles; quite interestingly leading to the conclusion that headlines have the same ideologies with the exception of the different written texts that the foreign news media construct the Mongolian people as protesters storm government while local news publishers criticize government beyond the corrupted and stolen coals through the voice of the protesters..
