This master’s thesis explores globalist discourse in American media from 2020 to 2025 through the integration of critical discourse analysis, linguo- semiotics, linguo-pragmatics, corpus linguistics, and conceptual mapping. The relevance of the research is determined by the growing role of media in constructing ideological interpretations of globalization in the context of the post- pandemic world, geopolitical instability, migration debates, climate challenges, and transformations of the global order. The object of the research is globalist discourse in American media, while the subject is the linguo-semiotic and linguo-pragmatic mechanisms through which globalization is represented, evaluated, legitimized, or delegitimized. The aim of the thesis is to establish how American media construct globalization and how lexical, pragmatic, semiotic, and cognitive mechanisms shape its ideological interpretation. The empirical material consists of 124 media texts from The New York Times, CNN, Fox News, and The Hill, published between 2020 and 2025. The total volume of the corpus is 201,519 tokens / 171,475 words. The methodology combines corpus analysis in Sketch Engine, keyword and collocation analysis, concordance analysis, frame analysis, speech act theory, the study of modality, presuppositions and implicatures, semiotic interpretation, and conceptual mapping based on S. A. Zhabotynska’s propositional model. The results show that American media construct globalization not as a neutral descriptive concept, but as an ideologically marked model of world interpretation. The liberal segment, represented primarily by The New York Times and CNN, tends to frame globalization through interdependence, openness, integration, access, cooperation, and regulation. In this segment, globalization is often naturalized as an inevitable condition of the modern world that can be improved or regulated but not fundamentally rejected. By contrast, the conservative-oriented segment, represented by Fox News and The Hill in the selected corpus, frames globalization through threat, control, borders, security, trade imbalance, and national interest. The linguo-pragmatic analysis demonstrates that modal markers, assertives, directives, commissives, presuppositions, and implicatures play a key role in legitimizing competing ideological models. The linguo-semiotic analysis shows that repeated verbal signs, frames, and media codes contribute to the naturalization and mythologization of ideological meanings. Conceptual mapping reveals two dominant cognitive models: the Interdependence Model and the Threat-and-Control-Oriented Model. The theoretical significance of the thesis lies in developing an integrated approach to the study of globalist media discourse. Its practical value consists in the possibility of applying the findings to media literacy, political communication analysis, discourse monitoring, and further research in media linguistics.
