Abstract
In this paper I look at some central problems, which have been puzzling me in my PhD research, when applying an interdisciplinary approach to data. My thesis is about the reader’s identity construction in the English-language newspapers in Portugal, about the expatriates’ textual positions in these newspapers.
The theoretical framework I refer to is part of the wider and heterogeneous field of critical language analysis – a combination of linguistic and social analysis. This differs from many other forms of linguistic analysis because it studies language as a social practice that mediates reality.F.C.H.S. e E.S.E. da Universidade do Algarve, British Council, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Luso-American Foundation for Development, Embassy of the USA, Institute for Educational Innovation, Faro City Hall, Centre for Anglo-Portuguese Studies at Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Centre for Comparative Studies Program in Literary Theory at Faculdade de Letras de Lisboa, APEAA e Algarve Tourism Boar
