Abstract

The purpose of this research was to study the ideology of hostility and partisanship using references found in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Fairclough’s three-dimensional framework was employed to analyse 207 spoken discourses selected from conversations of the 4 magical groups. The referential devices were analysed based on text, discourse practice, and socio-cultural practice. The findings revealed that there were 10 strategies of references used in expressing ideologies: full names, family names, first names, third-person pronouns, groups’ names, phrases, naming, a profession, an institution’ name, and an acronym. Moreover, 7 sub-ideologies were found under the ideology of hostility and partisanship through the use of references. The findings also indicated that using referential expressions could reveal overpowering in society.
