Conversation and variation analysis
Conversation Analysis
According to Hoey and Kendrick (2017), “Conversation Analysis (CA) is an inductive, micro-analytic, and predominantly qualitative method for studying human social interaction”. The main principle of CA is that human interaction exhibits ‘order at all points’ (Sacks, 1992, p.484), which means that “this orderliness is produced and maintained by the participants themselves in their orientations to social rules or expectations”.
Even when conversations appear spontaneous or unstructured, participants rely on implicit social rules and expectations to shape the flow of interaction, ensuring coherence and mutual understanding.For example, in a conversation between two people, each participant takes turns speaking, responds to the topics introduced by the other, and adheres to certain norms of politeness and respect.
Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA)
According to Fairclough (2010), language is considered a socially conditioned process‘, in which "process" refers to the production of the text and the way of interpreting it, This process is related to the practices of the society.
Fairclough's approach, called Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is a practically-oriented form of discourse analysis addressing a social problem with the aim of resisting it.ICDA focuses primarily on the effect of power relations and inequalities in producing social wrongs, and inparticular on discursive aspects of power relations and inequalities. For example, CDA might study how media discourse frames certain social issues, such as immigration or poverty, in ways that reinforce stereotypes or uphold dominant narratives of power.
Advantages
CDA can help in interpreting and explaining different areas of a social relationship system including the causes of social issues and constructing knowledge that could lead on to social change (Fairclough, 2010; van Dijk, 2008; Locke, 2004).
However, in order to complete the whole picture of critical analysis, such interpretations and explanations need to be consistent with what evidently exists, including the circumstances that prevail, the way people have acted and what turns out to be the consequences of their actions.
The field of critical discourse analysis (CDA) involves taking a deeper, qualitative look at different types of texts, whether in advertising, literature, or journalism. Analysts try to understand ways in which language connects to social, cultural, and political power structures.
