Yet discourse community consisted by people who have the same goal, using language or some other tools to intercommunicate with each others; different language would not be a problem.

Our sense of being is actually engaged with the concept of interpellation. This is due to the concept of interpellation, through the role of ideology, it does not only just giving identity to an individual, but also functions in ensuring social stability. For example, we interpellate an individual with police uniform as an individual who have power of law, therefore we feel obligated to follow what the officer said and indirectly feel like subjected to the law.
Helwan University Faculty of Arts English Department 2012 CDA, A Look into Minds: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Mubarak’s Speeches during The Revolution By ……… Under the supervision of Dr. ……… Abstract The current study aimed to clarifying how politicians deconstruct language in a way that serves their interests and ideologies. It also aimed at investigating how Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) can be helpful in revealing the latent ideologies and hidden intentions behind the speakers’ speeches.

Employing these tools to the speeches showed that when writing their political speeches, politicians, including Mubarak, tend to utilize various linguistic tools, in order to convince their audience with their views, opinions and ideologies.
Ethnocentric individuals judge other groups relative to their own ethnic group or culture, especially with concern for language, behaviour, customs and religion. Therefore major differences can create tensions between individuals or even communities in a separatist point of view. For instance when the people feel secluded from central government, they tend to seek to gain more political control. Such groups may have different language or religion amongst the others in the state and are often geographically peripheral (isolated from another region). The Kurdistan for example is socially segregated as they live in mountainous area across Iraq, Iran, Syria and Turkey.
