Example text
25) Echoing another point about the value of a diachronic approach made earlier, Achugar continues this quotation as follows: By analyzing a series of texts related by belonging to the same discursive formation3 (Foucault 1982) the goal is to understand the interrelationships between different texts and how certain discourses are reproduced or reappropriated by others. In this way, the historical focus serves as a window that allows not merely the observation of the instances as finished products, but rather the observation of the construction processes of language and memory.
In studying discourse from a synchronic perspective, an extra dimension is added to the analysis. Traditionally, discourse analysts focus on individual texts or groups of texts; they may consider intertextuality, how the text under consideration relates to other texts, and in this sense their analysis is historical. Fairclough emphasises this point, for example, in his book on discourse and social change (Fairclough, 1992, see below), but there is a tendency to provide a static snapshot rather than a dynamic analysis which gives due emphasis to the longitudinal dimension of discourse as it develops over time.
A review of the rather diffuse literature leads to the development of a composite taxonomy of discriminatory discursive practices. The Hong Kong data is then tested against this taxonomy. Examples of all of the strategies in the taxonomy are found to be present in the Hong Kong data, with certain local variations due to the particular situation of Hong Kong. The findings are all the more striking because the people who are the focus of the discrimination are from the same ethnic and linguistic background.
