| Title | Framing Noncitizen Suffrage: A corpus-based analysis of media content addressing noncitizen voting rights in the United States |
| Summary | The purpose of this study will be to examine media content surrounding the topic of noncitizen voting rights in the United States. In this study I will perform a quantitative and qualitative frame analysis on a large sample of media content, consisting of 103 textual items from multiple media sources (i.e. newspapers, magazines, and blogs), between the years 1991-2017, with the selected items relating to noncitizen suffrage in the United States. To do this I will utilize the method of corpus linguistics that has been repeatedly shown to offer a high degree of objectivity and reliability when dealing with data-driven approaches to textual analysis. Through the usage corpus linguistics methods, it should be possible to detect the most pervasive format in which noncitizen suffrage is justified and presented to the public. |
