critical discourse definition
Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) has become the general label for a special. approach to the study of text and talk, emerging from critical linguistics, critical semrotics. and in general from a socio-politically conscious and oppositional way of investigating. language, discourse and commumcatlon.
analysis is defined as (1) concerned with language use beyond the boundaries of a sentence/utterance, (2) concerned with the interrelationships between language and society and (3) as concerned with the interactive. or dialogic properties of everyday communication. The term discourse analysis is very ambiguous.
