AB - The CDA compares how the Chosun Ilbo and Kyunghyang Shinmun represent undocumented migrant workers. While both use nominalization and passive voice to obscure agency, their ideological framing diverges. The Chosun associates workers with crime and job scarcity, foregrounding the administrative perspective. Conversely, the Kyunghyang centers on workers' voices and structural issues, viewing them as economic resources, although occasionally prone to overinterpretation. The findings demonstrate that both newspapers strategically deploy linguistic resources, from lexical metaphors to structural foregrounding, to align them with their specific discursive purposes and ideological standpoints.
