ABSTRACT
We will analyze how women subject to violence in Morocco legitimize their discourse through the use of one legitimation techniques called rationalization, the aim of which is to establish a mode of argumentation that victimizes them and demonizes the violent husbands. The site from which the data is extracted is Medi 1TV’s show “Qesset Nnass” (the story of people). This will be done within the framework of critical discourse analysis in which we will decompose the women’s narratives by referring to Fairclough’s three elements: the text, discursive practice, and context and to Van Dijk’s socio-cognitive model.
KEYWORDS:legitimation, discourse of women, rationalization, media, domestic violence, Morocco
