This paper seeks to clarify the status of the English language in three different press categories:  the Algerian press, the French press, and the opposition press. This study's main goal is to clarify the varied linkages and meanings associated with the English language in these particular media environments. A thorough collocation corpus-based investigation was carried out using three different corpora. The French press corpus, which had 13,208 tokens, was compared to the Algerian press corpus, which included 9,032 tokens. The Algerian opposition press corpus included 35,263 tokens. Each collocate, to the word English, was thoroughly examined and ranked according to its position, loglikelihood, collocation frequency, and overall frequency. The study used an agreement calculator in order to identify a variation of latent meanings and political bias connected to how the English language is portrayed in different media sources. The research's conclusions have identified diverse trends and viewpoints across the various media genres. The primary nature of learning the English language is extensively emphasized in the Algerian media. The French media, in contrast, places a lot of attention on the linguistic features of English, emphasizing its relationship to education while also voicing concerns about how it might endanger the French language in Algeria. The opposition media, on the other hand, uses a wide variety of collocates to express criticism of the English language and what is viewed as its negative impact on the French language, which is referred to as a "spoil of war." Overall, this research contributes substantially to our understanding of how English is portrayed in the media on both the northern and the southern sides of the Mediterranean. It offers insightful information into the discursive representations of the language by illuminating the cultural, educational, and political aspects related to the use of English in these many situations.
