In order to investigate the UK and US news coverage of the representations of different nations regarding climate change, this study employed Norman Fairclough's approach to critical discourse analysis and corpus tools to analyze news reports on international conferences on climate change. The results of the analysis depict a world which is polarized by inequalities and it appears that the nations of the world have been unable to reach a consensus on a common treaty om climate change. The collocation patterns and syntactic structures represented developing countries as areas which are both heavily affected by the adverse impacts of climate change and very active in negotiations surrounding this issue. Developed countries were represented in a passive stance and have been avoiding financial responsibility for climate change. The language used in the sample articles indicate that these two newspapers have differing ideologies. The paper concludes with the methodological and practical contributions iof the study to present critical discourse analysis and language teachingllearning.
