We used a self-compiled complex corpus and its 20 subcorpora, each consisting of articles published about women from a specific Arab country by British and American news media during 2010–2014. These articles were categorized into four datasets according to the political stability in the countries they are associated with: Arab Spring, conflict, semi-stable, and stable countries. Each subcorpus was analysed for the occurring collocates of woman/women, which were then classified according to the topical frames they reflected. The themes were compared within and across the four categories and to those identified earlier in the complex corpus. The results indicate discrepancies between the general depictions of Arab women and those particular to women of different nationalities. Despite the commonalities among all Arab women, images of those from specific nationalities provide evidence for profound variations among them. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2026 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
