Critical Discourse Analysis

The Craft of Research -Booth

I used this book in my SIS 206 class to understand research methods including critical discourse analysis. I think it offers a lot of insight into the practicalities of applying critical discourse analysis.

Critical Discourse Analysis and the Study of Reading and Writing

I think this also gives practical tips on applying critical discourse analysis but with a focus on reading and writing instead of more generally as the first source.

A Review on Critical Discourse Analysis

This adds to the second point of improvement for the article. It offers a more detailed history of discourse analysis along with background on the founders of critical discourse analysis and what they added to the field. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cw6857a (talk • contribs) 13:51, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

Improvements to background
Roger Fowler and Gunther Kress first coined the term "Critical Linguistics" in their book "Language and Control." In this book, Fowler focused mainly on the theoretical and methodological aspects of critical linguistics, while Kress wrote on the application of Critical Discourse Analysis in popular discourse. This helped to popularize Critical Discourse Analysis as a tool in linguistics.
