151466500 CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS ( 3 Crd.Hrs )

This course provides participants with a working knowledge of Critical Discourse Analysis, and its application to translation practice by looking at questions of power, ideology and hegemony through a recursive exploration of text and context (e.g., local, institutional and societal domains). Drawing on the resources of linguistics, genre/text studies, and critical social theory it explores how the linguistic features of texts constitute and are constituted by social, cultural and local relations, processes and contexts in which they are embedded.
