    Abstract

    This chapter suggests a framework for the analysis of ideology. The framework is exemplified by describing in detail the meanings made in an Australian Government advertisement about government policy for the use of the forests in the state of New South Wales. Crucially, these meanings are understood in relation to meanings made in other relevant texts. These texts come from the discourse voices that stand intertextually and heteroglossically aligned or opposed to the meanings made in the government advertisement. By mapping relations between the government text and its relevant intertexts and by understanding ideology as a symbolically articulated phenomenon (Volosinov 1973; Thompson 1990: 56) it is proposed that the ideological pedigree of the government text can be put on display.
