6.0 Tutor-marked Assessment Pick 5 different newspaper headlines on the same news item and discuss them using the Critical Discourse Analysis method.
7.0 Summary In this Unit, we examined CDA, a sub-discipline of Discourse Analysis. We started by examining what is meant by CDA. We traced the
origin to Critical Linguistics, which started in East Anglia and other disciplines that use the social approaches to analysis. The relationship between language and ideology was looked at, since our attitudes, beliefs and orientation cannot be separated from the language we use. Avery important aspect of this unit is the one that outlined how to do a research using the CDA approach.
