Critical Discourse Analysis Founder

Discourse analysis as one of the disciplines with an explicit methodology can be considered as a new science for a new development seen in the early 70s and sourced in Western scientific tradition. The term discourse analysis emerged as an attempt to produce a more complete description language because there are elements of language are not enough when analyzed using aspects of the structure and meaning it. So through discourse analysis can be obtained by an explanation of the correlation between what is uttered, what is and what is understood in a particular context.

Today I wanna tell ya about someone great in this area. He is emeritus profesor from Lancester University.

He is Norman Fairclaugh.

He was`born in 1941 and I don’t get the place but I know about his study.

He get much rewàrd for the resèarch and argument. The one thinker wìth study who called CDA.

Critical discourse analysis is the analysis of the language in use by using critical language. This analysis is seen as opposition to discourse analysis descriptive that sees discourse as a phenomenon of language text only, since the analysis of this type in addition to working to obtain a description of aspects of language, also relate to the context, be it the social, cultural, ideological and domains` power use language as a tool.

In this`context, to view investigate how the use of language social groups fight each other and asking each other's opinions and powerful. That make us who educated have kind of point of view and know the event occure and we can cross`check about the truth and if that bad we can anticipation.

5.      Aspect, kind of two its posìtive or negative. Its defind on reality or not. Make sòmeone assumtion and critical thinking to solve and to know it.

According to Norman Fairclaugh

1. Textual Dimensions (microstructural)

Each text has three functions, namely representation, relationships, and identity. Functions relating to the representation of the ways that is done to show the social reality into written form.

2. Dimensions of dis`course (Mesostructural)

Discourse practice, in this dimension of analysis, interpretation done to the processing of discourse that includes aspects of income, deployment and use of text. he argued that the analysis of discourse serves to know the process of production, dissemination, and use of text. Thus, all three of these stages must be carried out to analyze the dimensions of discourse.

3. Practical Dimensions of Socio-Cultural (Makrostruktural)

a macro-level analysis based on the idea that the social context that exists outside the media actually influence how the existing discourse in the media.

The discussion of socio-cultural practices include three levels of situational rate, related to the production and context of the situation and the effect on the level of institutional politics (political system) in an area.
