Language is a crucial medium for representing ideologies in media discourse. In early June, U.S. President Trump ordered the Navy to deport undocumented immigrants in Los Angeles, as part of his ongoing anti-immigration policies. We analyze five news opinions from The New York Times on this episode, using van Dijk’s ideological square to examine how ideological stances toward the issue are conveyed through language. Based on the distinction between ingroup and outgroup of the ideological square, we have examined key lexicons representing these groups as well as those describing their actions and attributes qualitatively. We have also measured keyword frequencies to determine whether the findings from the qualitative analysis are supported by quantitative data. In the news opinions, Americans and immigrants are portrayed as the ingroup, while President Trump and his administration are as the outgroup. Given this, we have found the positive qualities of the ingroup are strongly emphasized, while their negative qualities are downplayed, and the negative qualities of the outgroup are emphasized even more than the positive qualities of the ingroup. The findings are proved to be statistically significant, using a chi-square test. Based on this, we conclude that ideological stances on the deportation of undocumented immigrants are effectively conveyed through linguistic choices consistent with the ideological square framework.
