- Here are the assignment instructions:
As part of your coursework in Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), you are required to conduct an in-depth analysis of a specific discourse, applying the methods and theories we’ve discussed throughout the course. This project will allow you to explore how power, ideology, or identity are constructed and maintained within a chosen text or discourse.
Instructions:
- Select a Discourse: Choose a piece of discourse (e.g., a political speech, advertisement, news article, social media post, or any other form of communication) that you will analyze using CDA.
- Analysis: Apply the relevant CDA methods and frameworks to uncover how power, ideology, or identity are communicated, sustained, or challenged within the discourse.
- Base the analysis on the information in the slides attached
- The speech to be analyzed is Jacinda Arden’s speech at the Christchurch memorial
