A Critical Discourse Analysis of Blackmail in Some Selected Songs
Abstract
The present study critically aims at highlighting the emotional blackmailers’ social power in the genre of songs. The qualitative and quantative methods are adopted so as to analyze three songs; namely, Don’t Leave Me, If You Leave Me, I’ll… and Stay With Me. The findings prove that the tantalizer and the sufferer types of emotional blackmails are frequently employed to arrive at the percentages (60%) and (40%) respectively, whereas the pressure and the demand elements of emotional blackmails are mostly with the percentages (40%) and (30%) respectively. The main conclusion is that the tantalizer type and the pressure element are appropriate types to achieve emotional blackmails.
