BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Conversation analysis is a broad phrase for the several traditions that may be used to analyse discourse. It is a cognitivism critique that emerged in the 1970s, however it has its origins in the 1950s' "turn to language" (Horvath 2016). Whereas cognitivism speaks of objective, observable, and knowable reality, discourse analysis speaks of numerous versions of reality, different 'truths,' which are formed through texts, and therefore multiple versions of analyses. Language is considered as a social performance or social activity in this context; it is both generative and constitutive (language both creates social phenomena and is representative of social phenomena). The technique critically examines power relations in an attempt to make sense of the social environment by giving fresh critical insights - a beneficial addition to both theory and research.
According to Stobbs (2016), Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is the study and analysis of written and spoken texts in order to uncover the discursive sources of power, dominance, inequality, and prejudice. It investigates how these discursive materials are preserved and reproduced in various social, political, and historical settings.
In a similar vein, Allen (2016) defines CDA as "the systematic exploration of often oblique relationships of causality and determination between (a) discursive practises, events, and texts, and (b) larger social and cultural structures, relations, and processes; to investigate how such practises, events, and texts arise out of and are ideologically shaped by power relations and struggles over power; and to investigate how the opacity of these rela (p. 135) Simply defined, CDA seeks to illuminate the relationships between discourse practises, social practises, and social structures that may be obscure to the layperson.
Critical discourse analysis (CDA) is a sort of discourse analytical study that focuses on how text and language in the social and political context enact, perpetuate, and oppose social power abuse, domination, and inequality. Critical discourse analysts take an explicit position in such dissident research in order to investigate, expose, and ultimately combat societal inequity.
