Cheshmedzhieva-Stoycheva_Ethnic Conflict_Roma_Gypsies_final.pdf

From the beginning of the year both Bulgarian and British printed media have flooded us with information on conflicts between Roma and Bulgarians in Bulgaria (the latest ones being the events in the village of Katunitsa) and Gypsies and Travellers and British in the UK (Dalefarm).
The goal of this paper is not to analyse the linguistic devices employed in the coverage on said (inter)ethnic conflicts in mainstream media, but rather to analyse the ways ethnic publications view these events and the discourse they employ to present them.
