Abstract: In the field of Critical Discourse Analysis, individuals and collectives are frequently referred to as “social actors” or “participants”. Communicators possess an array of linguistic tools at their disposal to depict these actors, enabling them to position individuals within a societal framework and accentuate specific facets of their identities, while simultaneously muting other dimensions. This paraphrasing reiterates the original concept, emphasizing the selective representation of social actors in communicative practices.
