Abstract

This study to aims to explore and highlights the Proximization strategies used in editorial of DAWN and Tribune after APS attack, prevent national action plan issued by the government of Pakistan. The National Action Plan was proved by the government of Pakistan on the 24th of December 2014. The theory of legitimization selected as a theoretical framework and the Proximization theory selected as an analytical framework for the present study and the data analysis of the selected texts was guided by the Spatial, Temporal and Axiological (STA) model. The STA model develops as the paper looks at the multi-faceted phenomenon of legitimization of action sought by Pakistani government in front of their audiences. To explain this phenomenon the thesis describes of linguistics accounts. It is emphasised that the openness and ill-defined borders linguistic theory might cause overdetermination of analysis, either by the bottom-level category of the actual language constructs or by the regulating categories of analysis. In analysis, this overdetermination can be countered, but only if an unusual "checks and balances" mechanism is put in place during the investigation. Language data must be defined in constant contact with the underlying social premise, which must itself regulate the evolution of analysis. First, linguistic categories must be positioned at various levels of analysis. The studies begins with the definition of "legitimization," which is consistent with the latter assumptions. Considering this, the example has been spellbindingly broke down for the semantic decisions that demonstrate the spatial, temporl , and axiological proximization of the danger of harmony, in the illumination of proximization hypothesis (Cap 2013). The proof gathered during the examination lays out that the specialists use proximization systems in illness avoidance talk to add to the apprehension bid which helps in requesting genuine and fast legitimization of the proposed game plan against the spreading danger of harmony.
