. "Social categorisation, as a process in which individuals are assigned certain values and qualities, is a context-dependent activity in which discourse (as a means of purposeful and goal-oriented communication through language) draws on various referential and predicational strategies. This process often involves the discursive construction of two mutually opposed groups - the ingroup and the outgroup, which are subject to affective treatment: typically positive self-presentation and negative other-presentation. This article documents the gradual positive presentation of an ingroup member charged with a criminal act in a foreign country, as identified in continued reporting of the case in the Electronic Telegraph. From a potentially deviant individual, and thus a possible representative of an outgroup comprising negatively perceived 'criminals' (be they convicted or suspected), the English au-pair Louise Woodward was re-constructed into a non-deviant member of the ingroup and assigned positive values." .
