1. INTRODUCTION

Critical Discourse Analysis (hereafter CDA) is a cross-discipline set forth in the early 1990s by a group of scholars such as Theo van Leeuwen, Gunther Kress, Teun van Dijk, and Norman Fairclough

(Wodak & Meyer, 2001). At that time, theories and methods of CDA have been formulated to

differentiate this paradigm from other theories and methodologies in Discourse Analysis. Later on, the

term has been known under many designations. While, according to their fields of research or areas of

study, some scholars prefer the concept Critical Linguistics (CL), others choose to use the label

Critical Discourse Studies (CDS). It follows from this to argue that CDA is an interdisciplinary

approach which, as stated by Bloor and Bloor (2007), can be used by professionals from a variety of

backgrounds such as historians, business institutions, lawyers, politicians, etc., to investigate social

problems relating to their work.

Since the last decade or so, there has been a resurgence of the application of the theory of CDA to a

range of studies (Bloor & Bloor, 2007; Bayram 2010; Jahedi & Abudullah 2012; Parham, 2013; Akogbeto & Koukpossi, 2015;Koussouhon & Dossoumou, 2015, Koussouhon & Amoussou, 2016; to

name but a few). Although such research works provide the reader with valuable and pertinent results,

some seem far from abiding by the elementary principles underlying the critical approach they set out

to apply. In that sense, this research work intends to make it clear that a systematic application of

some theories like Systemic Functional Linguistics to a text or discourse (as often recommended by

CDA proponents) is not sufficient to claim the critical stance of the study of the text or discourse. As

critical discourse analysis. In that perspective, the following research questions are posed: what is

CDA? Can any analysis of discourse, assuming that language is social and political, be considered as a CDA? To what extent does CDA differ from other types of discourse analysis? What aspects of language are important to analyze in conducting CDA? How do we assess the validity and trustworthiness of research on CDA? The subsequent sections will try to provide answers to these questions.

Abstract: Critical Discourse Analysis (hereafter CDA) is a cross-discipline set forth in the early 1990s by a

group of scholars such as Theo van Leeuwen, Gunther Kress, Teun van Dijk, and Norman Fairclough (Wodak

& Meyer, 2001). Since the last decade or so, there has been a resurgence of the application of the theory of

CDA to a range of studies (Bloor & Bloor, 2007; Bayram, 2010; Jahedi & Abudullah, 2012; Parham, 2013;

Akogbeto & Koukpossi, 2015; Koussouhon & Dossoumou, 2015; Koussouhon & Amoussou, 2016; etc.).In

view to spurring on the use of that research paradigm, the current study attempts to clarify what it means to

say that one is doing critical discourse analysis. In that endeavor, it sheds light on the principles underlying

the concept, the methods it draws on, as well as the focal approaches to CDA that have thus far been put forth

by prominent scholars. Keywords: Approach, Critical Discourse Analysis, Discourse Analysis, Paradigm, Theory.

2. FEATURES OF CDA

This section is concerned with underlining the main tenets that characterize CDA. In that respect, it

will first highlight the difference between CDA and other kinds of discourse analysis. Then, the basic

assumptions of CDA are going to be highlighted.

2.1. CDA and Other DA Approaches

As may be guessed from the label of each of the two concepts, CDA and DA (Discourse Analysis) do not mean the same thing. DA is a series of interdisciplinary approaches that can be used to explore

many different social domains in many different types of studies (Jørgensen and Phillips, 2002:12).

This means that discourse analysis can be applied to all areas of research, with a method of analysis

intrinsically linked to its theoretical and methodological foundations. Brown & Yule (1983:26) argue particular interest to the discourse analyst. DQG UHSURGXFWLRQ RI SRZHU DEXVH RU GRPLQDWLRQquotesdbs_dbs21.pdfusesText_27
