Abstract

In this paper, I examine the types of  internal intertextuality used in the representation of the June 30 Revolution and its key social actors in the British newspapers. This is based on a 4-million-word corpus of British newspaper articles collected from June 2012 till October 2013. The analysis is conducted using the theoretical framework of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and methods of Corpus Linguistics (CL). Corpus linguistic techniques of collocations and concordances are employed using the software AntConc. For the critical discourse analysis, I adopt Reisigl and Wodak's (2001) Discourse Historical Approach and Richardson's (2007) model of internal intertextuality. The results of the corpus-based intertextual analysis reveal significant differences between the pre- and post-uprising periods  in terms of the sources included in the news reports and how these sources were reported. The British media used internal intertextuality to present their ideological perspectives on Egypt's political crisis.
