'Särskilt sådana som ändå ska utvisas' : En kritisk diskursanalys av Sverigedemokraternas partiledare Jimmie Åkessons sommartal i Almedalen 2022. ; 'Especially the ones that will be deported anyways' : A critical discourse analysis of Jimmie Åkesson's speech in Almedalen 2022

This study explores the discursive constructions of a right-wing populist politician, especially examining the discursive constructions of immigrants. The study focuses on Sverigedemokraterna, examining the party leader Jimmie Åkesson, during a speech in Almedalsveckan 2022. Åkessons discursive constructions are examined, targeting the construction of The Other. The discursive constructions are discovered with the critical discourse methodology Discourse Historical Approach (DHA), utilizing the analytical tools; lexical choices, overlexicalisation, lexical absence, nomination, predication, and selected argumentative strategies. The retrieved information is subsequently analyzed with the theoretical framework, consisting of right-wing populistic ideology, right-wing populistic discourse, the exclusion of right-wing populistic discourse, and othering. The methodology and theoretical framework aims to establish tendencies in the discursive constructions of the immigrant, as The Other. The outcome reveals that Åkesson actively constructs The Other with negative attributes, which eventually results in further stereotypization of the immigrant. The argumentative strategies legitimizes the constant othering, and the discursive strategies constructs the immigrant as an enemy, for the entirety of Sweden. The rhetorical skillfulness of Åkesson hides the applied racist discourses, resulting in general difficulty discovering the othering. ; Följande studie ämnar belysa hur en framgångsrik högerpopulistisk aktör konstruerar invandrare.
