language analysis help

[sisqo1111]

hi
i have to do a language analysis on an opinion piece written by three people. Its about paid maternity leave and 3 professionals all write together in it. Ive never done one like this. all the articles ive done are written by one person
would anyone be able to shed some advice on how to go about it?

I have to do the same - i have no clue how to add three authors

Introduce all three in the intro as the authors:
e.g. The opinion piece 'XYZ', authored collaboratively by A, B, and C, contends that...
(sounds too pompous, maybe ''A, B and C's opinion piece "XYZ" contends that...'')
or something like that .

Then throughout the article, don't use their names - refer to them collectively as 'the authors/writers'.
e.g. the authors use repetition in the phrase... the writers' blunt tone...

(I assume you don't mean three different points of view in separate pieces: in which case you are trying to compare the stances/methods of arguing of the three authors.)
