Abstract

This research examines the linguistic strategies for emotional influence as applied to the news reports of "Deutsche Welle" and "Al Jazeera" in their coverage of the conflict in Gaza. Through a comprehensive contrastive analysis, this study explores how lexical, rhetorical, and textual elements are utilized to evoke and convey emotions in their reporting. The analysis reveals distinct approaches to emotionalization, shedding light on the nuanced ways in which language is utilized to shape perceptions and attitudes towards the conflict. By examining the intricate interplay between language, media representation, and emotions, this study offers insights into the role of linguistic strategies in influencing audience interpretation and engagement with conflict narratives. The results elucidate the differences in the linguistic strategies employed for emotional impact between "Deutsche Welle" and "Al-Jazeera," regarding the vocabulary used, rhetorical and textual elements, and their effect on the reception and understanding of the Gaza conflict by the audience.
