Abstract

: This practice-oriented course will introduce students to critical discourse analysis (CDA) of media and political texts. The course aims to equip students with one of the core methodological and analytical skills necessary to engage in research on media and political discourse, including text selection, analysis, comparison and presentation of results. By the end of the course students will be able to analyze mass media and poitical texts from the point of view of their meaning, form, argumentation and action and identify possible ideological bias and flaws in argumentation. The course comprises the following methodological approaches: critical discourse analysis of the news (T. Van Dijk) and critical analysis of political argumentation (N. Fairclough).
