Triangulating Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA)

To study ideology is to some extent, to study the ways in which language and meaning are used in everyday forms of social interaction. This is why a theory of language and a linguistic tradition which concerns itself with ideology will be much richer than narrow approaches which concern themselves only with system of signs, fixed meanings or well formed sentences. A theory of language as a social semiotic and of language and ideology has to concern itself with language as a form of social interaction, a meaning potential in and through which subjects and the social are constructed and reproduce while cultural and human conflict are negotiated. Such an analysis depends upon an account of relations of power which takes into account on cultural conflict and the problem of lack of consensus about systems of ideas or beliefs which characterize social systems and includes an account of the relations between action, institutions and social structures.CDA takes particular interest in the relationship between language and power. It is a type of discourse analytical research that primarily studies the way social power abuse, dominance, and inequality are enacted, reproduced, and resisted. Critical discourse analysts, then, take explicit position and want to understand, expose, and ultimately resist social inequality.This study attempts to transcend linguistic elements and to include a systematic fashion of the historical and political, sociological and/or psychological dimension in the analysis and interpretation of specific texts by using the principle of triangulating CDA. This involves Gaventa’s Power Cube, Fairclough’s Three Dimension’s of Discourse and Martin and Rose’ Appraisal System as a conceptual framework of analysis of blogging, one of various social media discourse.

CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS (CDA): A PATHWAY TO SHED LIGHT ON IDEOLOGY

Critical discourse analysts believe that language is not a neutral medium given that it might serve as an ideological purpose. As believed by Fairclough, ideology could be won by meaning construction. Choice of words matters in this case. This is because one might create meaning through his choice of words. A precise choice of words might have a great impact. Even, it is believed that the meaning of discourse may function as a generator machine that could shape realities or even change the world. Some cases in point indicate that choice of words contributes a lot to the process of shaping realities. In addition to meaning, sentence structure contributes a lot in meaning construction. Studying the discourse practice and sociocultural practice are another components of discourse which could be made use of the medium to uncover the ideology of the discourse producer. Indonesian Idol, a title attributed to the winner of a singing contest broadcast on RCTI, is a concrete example which gives credence to the notion that our choice of words is able to shape realities or even change the world. The meaning created by a discourse producer through his choice of words might sound natural for the public if it is intensively repeated and massively spread. This article explores how Critical Discourse Analysis touches upon the linkage between language and social practice
