The Function of CDA in Media Discourse Studies

JEES (Journal of English Educators Society), 2018

Discussing the period of critical in discourse analysis, it has appeared at variety of analytical conceptual frameworks and approaches. This paper focuses to find out how Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) that has an important role in the ideologies, in other side observing the power of media discourse studi investigate how and why the social interaction from critical view. This study reviewed ten journal articles for checking the ways and methods used CDA to invent the social phenomenon. It has been used to unmask m keep giving the highest authority to a group that is positive images. While the social actors have their own ways of using CDA.

Critical Discourse Analysis i

According to van Dijk (1998a) Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is a field that is concerned with studying and analyzing written and spoken texts to reveal the discursive sources of power, dominance, inequality and bias. It examines how these discursive sources are maintained and reproduced within specific social, political and historical contexts. In a similar vein, Fairclough (1993) defines CDA as discourse analysis which aims to systematically explore often opaque relationships of causality and determination between (a) discursive practices, events and texts, and (b) wider social and cultural structures, relations and processes; to investigate how such practices, events and texts arise out of and are ideologically shaped by relations of power and struggles over power; and to explore how the opacity of these relationships between discourse and society is itself a factor securing power and hegemony. (p. 135) To put it simply, CDA aims at making transparent the connections between discourse practices, social practices, and social structures, connections that might be opaque to the layperson.

Critical Discourse Analysis as a Research Tool

Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) stems from a critical theory of language which sees the use of language as a form of social practice. All social practice are tied to specific historical contexts and are the means by which existing social relations are reproduced or contested and different interests are served. It is the questions pertaining to interests-How is the text positioned or positioning? Whose interests are served by this positioning? Whose interests are negated? What are the consequences of this positioning?-that relate discourse to relations of power. Where analysis seeks to understand how discourse is implicated in relations of power, it is called critical discourse analysis. Fairclough's (1989, 1995) model for CDA consists three interrelated processes of analysis tied to three interrelated dimensions of discourse. These three dimensions are 1 The object of analysis (including verbal, visual or verbal and visual texts). 2 The processes by means of which the object is produced and received (writing/ speaking/designing and reading/listening/viewing) by human subjects. 3 The socio-historical conditions which govern these processes. According to Fairclough each of these dimensions requires a different kind of analysis 1 text analysis (description), 2 processing analysis (interpretation), 3 social analysis (explanation). What is useful about this approach is that it enables you to focus on the signifiers that make up the text, the specific linguistic selections, their juxtapositioning, their sequencing, their layout and so on. However, it also requires you to recognise that the historical determination of these selections and to understand that these choices are tied to the conditions of possibility of that utterance. This is another way of saying that texts are instanciations of socially regulated discourses and that the processes of production and reception are socially constrained. Why Fairclough's approach to CDA is so useful is because it provides multiple points of analytic entry. It does not matter which kind of analysis one begins with, as long as in the end they are all included and are shown to be mutually explanatory. It is in the interconnections that the analyst finds the interesting patterns and disjunctions that need to be described, interpreted and explained. In this paper I will demonstrate how to use this three-part analytic model for working with a text. However, one of the weaknesses of verbal accounts is that words cannot be presented as a gestalt: words march in rows one after the other, structured into a meaningful order. Analysis is not always as tidily linear. Fairclough tries to capture the simultaneity of his method of CDA with a model that embeds the three different kinds of analysis one inside the other. See Figure 1 (Fairclough, 1995: 98). Include Fairclough model here: Figure 1 The embedding of the boxes emphasises the interdependence of these dimensions and the intricate moving backwards and forwards between the different types of analysis which this

Critical Discourse Analysis of Z.A Bhutto’Sspeech at Security Council (15 December, 1971) in Perspective of Transitivity and Modality

International journal of advanced research, 2016

The researchers have presented a literature review related to Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) theory in a chronological order in order to present the employed theoretical framework in a very simple way for better understanding of the presented work. And in the end the researchers have discussed the political discourse so that a better linkage could be built because the present research is on the political speech of Z.A. Bhutto. An Overview of Discourse Analysis:-Discourse analysis is not a simple field of study. It takes into account the language both spoken and written, in the real communication. Discourse analysis in its everyday practice deals with texts as heterogeneous as advertisement, biological research articles, police interviews, newspaper editorials, and life stories. Halliday & Hassan (in Sinar 2007: 7) say that text is the unit of language usages. It's not the grammatical unit like clause and sentence and it is not defined by following its length‖. In discourse analysis, the word text generally, refers to the record of situation process (discoursed according to Gregory (in Sinar 2008: 7) involved without any limitation on language systems. According to Sinar (2007: 8), text is just like a live thing on the language level and text is also as a semantic unit that is the source of meaning maker. It can realize the meaning which is controlled by the discourse of meaning. As a matter of fact, morpheme, word, phrase, clause realize a wording which is controlled by the grammar and lexicon. Phoneme realizes the sound (phonology) and realizes grapheme/a letter (graphology). The analysis of text can be done in the level below text that is investigating some aspects such as: grapheme/phoneme, morpheme, word, phrase, clause that is vertically to the bottom and analyzing the linguistic variables. Next, we can analyze the text vertically to the top by investigating the context variables of linguistic that is the context of situation, culture, and ideology. The variables that still exist above the text interact or influence each other along with the text. All the variables of context are found in the text and globally all the potentials are analyzed depending on the needs or aim which is intended by the researcher and which determines the social life. The discourse is closely related to the contexts of situation, culture, and ideology. Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA):-Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is obviously not a homogenous model, nor a school or a paradigm, but at most a shared perspective on doing linguistics, semiotic or discourse analysis. (Van Dijk 1993b: 131) Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is a type of discourse analytical research that primarily studies the way social power abuse, dominance, and inequality are enacted, reproduced, and resisted by text and talk in the social and political context. With such unorthodox research, critical discourse analysts take explicit position and thus want to understand, expose, and ultimately resist social inequality (Van Dijk, T. A. 2006).

Critical Discourse Analysis- Incorporating the DHA and MDA Approaches

HSS8004 101296306 2 Critically assess the value and limitations of at least one of the methods of data collection or critical analysis covered in the module. Where appropriate, discuss the ethical and practical issues which may arise by the use of this method(s) within your own planned research. My Master's dissertation is researching how the 'identity crisis' in the Philippines is represented, reproduced and challenged within online media between May 28 th , Flag Day, and June 12 th , Independence Day. The research also explores the extent to which historical nation-building strategies-in particular those of José Rizal, the first renowned Filipino nationalist (Reid, 2010) -have influenced the crisis.
