From Parliaments to Newspapers: The Roma Narrative in The Carniolan Provincial Assembly, Parliamentary Debates of First Yugoslavia and in Slovenian Newspapers
Sara Očko
Sažetak
The research focuses on the political and media narratives surrounding the Roma and is based on the Carniolan Provincial Assembly corpus (1861–1913), Parliamentary corpus of first Yugoslavia (1919–1939) and Slovenian newspapers [e.g. Dolenjske novice (1885–1919), Slovenec (1873–1945), Jutro (1920 – 1945), Slovenski narod (1868–1943)]. Through the analysis of parliamentary debates and media reports, the study aims to determine whether these two discourse spheres co-constructed the dominant narrative about the Roma or whether they clashed. Part of the analysis also addresses the interaction between political power and media influence. Were media reports mere reflections of parliamentary debates, or did they serve as independent agents in shaping public opinion? By tracing linguistic patterns, recurring stereotypes, and rhetorical shifts in political speeches the study examines how myths about the Roma were formed, sustained, or challenged within the Slovenian speaking territories. Through an interdisciplinary approach combining historical analysis and corpus linguistics, this study breaks down how political institutions and journalistic representations shaped public perceptions of the Roma in the years between 1861 and 1939. The study employs corpus linguistics tools, such as concordance analysis, keyword extraction and collocation patterns, to identify dominant themes and linguistic structures used in political discourse. To obtain a comprehensive media perspective, the research examines newspapers published during the period, assessing how press narratives aligned with or diverged from political discourse.
