PhD Dissertation at the University of Basrah Examines the Representation and Distortion of the Iraqi Environment in the Media
A PhD dissertation at the College of Arts, University of Basrah, examined the representation and distortion of the Iraqi environment in local and international media: a study in environmental linguistics.
The dissertation, submitted by student Abbas Mohsen Saleh, aimed to study the representation and distortion of Iraqi environmental issues, particularly the marshes, in local and international media and environmental documentaries.
The dissertation comprised five chapters in which the student discussed the environmental meaning in English-language media about Iraq, arguing that it is produced through interconnected linguistic and visual structures rather than isolated rhetorical features.
