Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Persuasive definition" in English language version.
The controversy over the IHRA definition is a prime example of language being both the "site of, and stake in, struggles for power". I hope that my application of Critical Discourse Analysis to this highly controversial text will give the reader some insights into the ideological assumptions underlying its, at first sight, bewilderingly vague and inappropriate language, and that those concerned with deconstructing "common sense in the service of power" will ask themselves who is empowered, and who is disempowered, by the adoption of "persuasive definitions" such as this one.
