Critical discourse analysis 1 (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

This paper explores the principles and methodologies underlying Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), emphasizing its role in understanding the dynamics between discourse and power relations in society. It argues for a multidisciplinary approach that integrates insights from linguistics, sociology, and political science to effectively analyze how discourse reproduces or challenges social inequalities and power structures. Key gaps in existing research are identified, particularly concerning the cognitive dimensions of discourse and the need for a more systematic integration of diverse analytical frameworks.
