My PhD thesis will offer the first academic investigation into the role of language in intersectional identityconstruction in professional women's football discourse using Critical Discourse Analysis. Specifically, Iwill address the following questions: What role does language play in creating and maintaining identitiesin women's football media? How does women's football interact with broader cultural issues concerningidentity? How do athletes and journalists use language to position themselves in these discussions?I will conduct four qualitative case studies involving the English and American national teams, and teamsin the highest division English and American leagues: Arsenal and Manchester United in the FA Women'sSuper League and Utah Royals and Portland Thorns in the NWSL. This study will include the constructionof a data set foregrounding the underrepresented perspectives of female footballers via Twitter posts andinterview responses, whilst also featuring sports journalism from British media across the politicalspectrum including The Guardian, MailOnline, and the BBC. The data set will surround and succeed 2019,'a breakthrough year for women's football' (FIFA 2019). As accessibility of discourse is a crucialconsideration in discussions of public identity construction and in the emancipation of marginalisedgroups at the heart of this study, this data set will draw from publicly available online sources (Lazar2008; Fairclough 2014). I will adapt a multidisciplinary approach to analysing this diverse data set,combining key critical discourse analytical approaches (Fairclough 1995, 2003, 2014; Lazar 2008, 2014)with van Leeuwen's (2008) legitimation strategies and Wodak and Koller's (2008) conceptualisations ofthe public sphere

我的博士学位论文将对语言在使用批判性话语分析中语言在职业女性足球话语中的交叉认同中的作用进行首次学术调查。具体来说，我要解决以下问题：语言在创建和维持女性足球媒体中的身份方面扮演着什么角色？妇女足球如何与更广泛的文化问题互动？运动员和记者如何利用语言在这些讨论中定位自己？我将进行四个涉及英国和美国国家队的定性案例研究，以及最高分区英语和美国联赛的团队：阿森纳和曼彻斯特联队，在FA女子妇女联盟，乌提亚人皇家联盟，乌提亚尔皇家队以及NWSL的波特兰索恩斯。这项研究将包括通过Twitter帖子和Interview的回应来构建数据集的数据集，其中包括女性足球运动员的代表性不足的观点，同时还展示了英国媒体在政治上的体育新闻业，包括《卫报》，MailOnline，MailOnline和BBC。数据集将包围并成功2019年，“女子足球的突破性一年”（FIFA 2019）。由于话语的可访问性是对公共认同构建的讨论以及本研究核心的边缘化组的解放，因此该数据集将从公开可用的在线资源中获取（Lazar2008； Fairclough 2014）。我将适应一种多学科方法来分析这一多样化的数据集，结合关键的关键论述分析方法（Fairclough 1995，2003，2003，2014; Lazar 2008，2014）与Van Leeuwen（2008）的合法化策略以及Wodak and Koller（2008）（2008）（2008年）的概念
