Critical Discourse Analysis
Chapter
Abstract
Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is a research enterprise which critically analyses the relationship between language and society. More specifically, CDA is a type of discourse-analytical research that studies the way in which ideology, identity and inequality are (re)enacted through texts produced in social and political contexts (van Dijk 2001: 352). Language is considered as crucial in the reproduction of ideologies, which, in turn, is seen as central in establishing and sustaining social identities and inequalities (Wodak 2001a: 10).
