Critical Discourse Analysis of Hillary Clintons Political Discourse Since the tragic incident of 9/11, Pakistan has been considered as a front line state to contribute in America started “war on terror”. Though its immense contributions have not been rewarded by the American government yet it is still making contributions for its own survival in the region. The study being multidisciplinary in nature deals with Hillary Clinton’s political discourse as a coherent whole in which not only structures but also socio-political context has been analyzed to develop the understanding of the factors which make any discourse dominant discourse. Van Dijk’s Socio-cognitive model has been used in the study. The socio-cognitive model of Van Dijk elaborates and critically inquires the underlying prejudiced assumptions and beliefs as conveyed through Hillary’s political discourse. It aims at the explorations of political discourse via political ideologies which are presented by individuals but reflection of ideology of the whole political group. The phenomenon of US versus THEM as given by Van Dijk effectively exposes that how Hillary being a member of the dominant nation presents and serves America’s interests affecting Pakistan’s policies in various ways. Further the analysis at micro(words, phrases and sentences), and macro level(social and political situations) reveals that how does Hillary present America’s interests .But the portrayal of interests is in such a tactful way that Pakistan considers America’s interests for the betterment of Pakistan’s own future being a non dominant nation.
