Abstract

Hijab discourse is extensive as it keeps offering new understanding and perspective to the progressing discussion on the cultural, social, and religious spheres. Singapore with its parliamentary representative democratic politics is one of the countries that allow its citizens to practice and wear their symbolic spiritual attributes (in this hijab’s case) in public. This discourse analysis (as part of multiyear research) aims to dismantle the authorial stances in the veil cases in Singapore represented in the Q3 Scopus-indexed journal article (stratified purposeful sampling was employed). This study deployed the Hallidayean transitivity system and language appraisal theory developed by J.R. Martin and P.R.R White. The preliminary finding reveals that the authors reaffirm textually aligned neutral representation by using the recognition and strategy of concessions in the language used of redefining the discourse in hijab in Singapore.
