An investigation of engagement resources in the World Cup 2022 newspaper articles in the Arab World Media
Introduction: Investigating patterns of dialogic engagement in newspaper articles can
help inform novice writers of effective writing strategies that can increase their readers'
engagement and interest. The study aimed to identify the linguistic features used to
engage and sustain readers' interest in sports newspaper articles and explore related
research within a systemic functional linguistics framework.
Methodology: A corpus of 9,000 words from 14 different sports newspaper articles was
analyzed using the UAM Corpus Tool software following Appraisal Theory proposed by
Martin and White (2005).
Results: The study revealed that writers of sports news employed various linguistic and
discourse strategies, including evaluative language, to create engagement. The findings
suggest that heteroglossic instances were more common compared to monoglossic
ones. Moreover, the writers preferred to use contract resources more frequently than
expand resources. Disclaim resources had a higher frequency than proclaim resources,
while attribute and entertain resources were almost equally used.
Conclusion: According to the findings, sports news writers use a range of grammatical
structures and vocabulary choices to create a sense of immediacy and establish the
relevance of the reported events.
