Critical Discourse Analysis of Muniba Mazari's Motivational Speeches: Annihilating Conventional Construction of Disability, Gender, Perfection, and Existence

Abstract

    This paper presents a critical discourse analysis of Muniba Mazari's motivational speeches, focusing on deconstructing conventional notions related to disability, gender, perfection, and existence. The study combines stylistic analysis, motivational theory, and critical discourse analysis frameworks to examine the uniqueness of Mazari's speeches. Drawing on the theoretical concepts proposed by Leech and Short (2007), Maslow's Pyramid (1943), and Fairclough (2003), the analysis scrutinizes traditional perceptions through language choices and discourse formation. The stylistic analysis section utilizes Leech and Short's (2007) framework to thoroughly explore the literary devices employed by Mazari to convey her message and persuade the audience. In line with Fairclough's (2003) framework, the critical discourse analysis section examines Mazari's language choices and discourse structures, revealing her engagement in a contemporary discourse that challenges traditional binary oppositions and constructs a fresh understanding of gender, disability, perfection, and existence. Maslow's Pyramid (1943) framework investigates Mazari's speeches' psychological and motivational aspects, highlighting how she influences the audience's psychology and motivates them. This research offers new insights that counter conventional notions and promote a novel perception of gender, disability, perfection, and existence, providing an intellectual understanding of Mazari's figurative language and thematic exploration.
