Abstract
This paper focuses on the discourse of propaganda through a comparative study of two propaganda sheets from the Irish Civil War (1922-1923). Data from the ICW_Corpus unveil the main discourse strategies through which the (respective) enemy was represented and their moral credibility was questioned. Findings show how propagandists implemented recontextualisation and dissociation in relation to the legacy of landmark events in Irish history or the contentious issue of what a republic was supposed to be.
