Abstract:
The study investigates the linguistic representation of violence in the Hunger Games Trilogy through an important discourse analysis (CDA) approach. It checks how the language is used to portray strength, harassment and resistance, especially focusing on the control of capital on districts. By analyzing 21 selected extracts from the trilogy, the study identifies linguistic patterns that strengthen the subjects of violence, rights and social inequality. The purpose of research is to investigate how violent expressions create power relations between capital and districts, the role of specific linguistic options in shaping ideological narratives, and the presence of important discourse features that reveal institutional violence and reactions to it. It envisages that the linguistic framing of violence in the trilogy highlights harassment and rebellion through strategies such as ideological keywords, metaphors, classification plans and modality patterns.
