Abstract

This article presents an overview of the studies in the area of Critical Discourse Analysis (ACD). To begin with, I explain the meaning of the terms CDA and CL (Critical Linguistics), and how a ‘scientific peer group’ was formed, involving the pioneers in CDA. Next, I outline a brief history of CL and CDA as a new area of discourse studies, and move on to define some key terms in the field, such as ‘critical’, ‘ideology’ and ‘power’. Finally, I point out some open questions and perspectives.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
