By a possible integration of text linguistics (proposition analysis), sociocognitive theory and Critical Discourse Analysis, the present study intends to reveal instances of ideologically charged translation by means of comparing and contrasting certain textual features of an instance of French language Canadian political discourse and its English translation. The aim of the analysis is twofold: to investigate some fundamental differences between source language and target language text production in terms of political power play and persuasion, as well as to demonstrate, by analysing a specific political text, a possible application of the above-mentioned integrative approach within the field of discourse analysis. The paper will also offer numerous possible perspectives on further research with a view to the Canadian political discourse in question.
