CDA has undergone significant transformations along with complex changes in the social and political world. This research aims to map the latest trends and developments in CDA studies, with a special focus on aspects of multimodality.

Critical Discourse Analysis of Intercultural Communication through the Lens of Multiculturality and Interraciality

Recent research on Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) has focused on the identity construction of agents within discourse. This study delves into intercultural communication through the lens of multiculturality and interraciality. Employing the CDA framework, the research investigates how online Filipino Chinese writers construct their identities and those of their readers, examining the dynamics of dominance and subordination in selected intercultural discourse. The study is guided by three central questions: how online intercultural writers position themselves in terms of their social identities, how the relationship between the writer and readers is linguistically realized, and how the representations and relationships of the writer and reader manifest in terms of discursive strategies. By concentrating on identity construction through the analysis of linguistic items, the study offers critical discourse analysts an alternative method for unveiling power and dominance in written texts. Furthermore, the examination of discursive strategies allows this CDA study to perceive texts as dual in nature, serving not only as a means for writers to influence their readers but also as instruments to endorse ostensibly positive values. In conclusion, the study presents an approach for analyzing intercultural discourse, enriching the field of CDA with a nuanced understanding of the complex interplay between writer, reader, and text within the rich tapestry of intercultural communication.

Critical discourse analysis study of stance taking and positioning in American and Russian political speeches

The goal of the current study is to look into the various stance-taking techniques utilized in American and Russian political speeches. Examining these forms' lexical and grammatical forms, semantic and discoursal roles, and social relevance in establishing the speaker's place and ideology are all important. Thus, based on Fairclough's (1995) dialectical-relational approach of CDA, the current study analysis six political speeches. They study concludes that the prevalent application of certain markers, whether in terms of highly significant words or grammatical things, has symbolically conveyed the speakers level of confidence and knowledge. Their adoption of engagement formalizations demonstrated their propensity to consider other people's perspectives, but they do not value them as highly as their own beliefs and attitudes. They create a dialogue space for different viewpoints, but they take care to prevent them from receiving the same endorsement as their own. Engagement conveys a conviction in this way.

A critical discourse analysis of Jayland Walker's demise in digital journalism

This research investigates the shooting incident involving Jayland Walker, an African American citizen, on June 27, 2022, resulting from a traffic violation in Akron, United States, and its subsequent coverage across major online media outlets such as CNN News, NBC News, and The Washington Post. Utilizing qualitative methods and drawing on Van Dijk's (1985) Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) model, the study focuses on analysing the ideologies embedded in ten online news stories from June 2022 to August 2022. The findings highlight a discernible trend in the representation of Jayland Walker by CNN News and The Washington Post, where he is predominantly portrayed as a victim, with the police depicted negatively through strategic use of lexical elements and metaphors, underscoring the influence of media ownership ideologies in shaping news content. In contrast, NBC News maintains a more neutral stance, attributed to frequent changes in ownership. The research contributes theoretically to CDA, providing a conceptual framework for students engaged in critical discourse analysis studies, and offers insights into the complexities of media representation in incidents involving discrimination and police violence.

The Representation of Multicultural Content Provided by “World-Class Franchise” English Course Textbook Used in Indonesia: A Critical Discourse Analysis Study

Multicultural values in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbooks have attracted many researchers, academics, and educators in many studies around the world. However, there is limited literature examining the representation of multicultural content in English course textbooks used in Indonesia, specifically EFL course textbooks from world-class franchise programs. Therefore, this study employs Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to examine the impartiality of cultural content representation provided by the EFL course textbook regarding different cultures and ethnic groups. This study provided Halliday’s systemic functional analysis to examine verbal data. While Kress and Van Leeuwen’s visual grammar theory was employed to comprehend, analyze, and explore visual representations from selected EFL course textbooks. This study reveals the EFL course textbook does not reflect the diversity of cultures in Indonesia, as it mainly focuses on the perspectives and traditions of Western and European countries. This creates an unfair and distorted representation of other cultures, especially those from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, whose values and beliefs are not adequately considered or respected within the EFL course textbook. The implications of this study suggest that the inclusion of cultural sensitivity within EFL course textbooks is crucial in fostering cultural awareness, promoting respect among EFL learners, and creating a more equitable and inclusive learning environment.

Corpus-Based Metaphorical Framing Analysis: WAR Metaphors in Hong Kong Public Discourse

ABSTRACT This study proposes an operational approach to a metaphorical framing analysis using large-scale data. We conducted a case analysis of how war metaphors are framed to address various societal issues in a corpus of public speeches by Hong Kong government officials. By investigating patterns of lexical choices under the source domain of WAR and the underlying reasons for the source-target domain mappings (i.e. Mapping Principles), we found that the target domain of social issues in Hong Kong is primarily conceptualized in terms of a combat frame, and governmental issues are primarily talked about in terms of a protection frame, both of which are positively evaluated. Additionally, economic issues are primarily addressed in terms of a strategy frame, which is both positively and negatively evaluated. We show that analyzing the Mapping Principles of these conceptual metaphors captures the “selection” process of framing at the dimensions of frame frequency and frame sentiment, allowing for a principled way to propose a metaphorical framing analysis in corpora-based studies. The proposed approach enriches Critical Discourse Analysis studies of metaphorical framing and bridges the link between metaphor analysis at a conceptual level and framing analysis at a communication level.

 The Tokopedia squad is a group of influencers formed by the Indonesian e-commerce giant Tokopedia in one of its advertisements. The Tokopedia Squad advertisement was uploaded with the headline “Inspirational, update current products & tell you anti-stale promos!”. Having the concept of a Squad or a team consisting of eleven well-known Indonesian influencers, Tokopedia Squad narrates the life of young people who have contemporary needs and can be accessed easily, practically, and instantly through the Tokopedia platform. Advertising publicity intends to promote a product to the intended target market. Advertising publicity that is carried out massively and carried out on a large scale certainly conveys discourse messages that contain ideology in them. The purpose of this study is to dissect the construction of discourse contained in the advertising publicity of Tokopedia Squad with the study of critical discourse analysis by Norman Faircligh, by looking at a textual discourse seen not only as text but as social practice. The method used is to look at three discursive dimensions starting from the text, text production, and sociocultural practices that build the discourse of the text. The results of the analysis found that the birth of text as a social practice was based on the socio-cultural conditions of Indonesia, especially millennial youth who are passionate about updates and technological matters. The ideology of convenience and consumerism aligns millennial youth which can be realized with the Tokopedia platform.
