Speech And Critical Analysis As A Discipline

Speech and critical analysis as a discipline

Introduction

The critical analysis of ACD discourse is a methodological discipline that develops an investigation into discourse and its relationship with the abuse of power in the social and political context. The text is structured in four ideas: microhistory, social conscience phenomena, ACD objects and the effects on the discourse-power relationship.

Developing

Initially the ACD includes linguistic and semiotic criticism, but its purpose is also to analyze the relations of domination, discrimination, power and control. To do this, other disciplines must be supported to understand social phenomena. The individual cannot be understood, without a context. For the author, the concepts are realities offered, distributed and even socially imposed. Power relationships are discursive and their critical analysis is interpretive and explanatory. The speech is historical, cultural and ideological;and in turn;It is a mechanism of social action.

For Ruth Wodak and Martín Reisigl, discourse is the complex set of simultaneous and sequential interrelated linguistic acts, acts that are manifested throughout the social action fields as an interrelated semiotic of interrelated themes, such as oral or written productions, andVery frequently as texts, all belonging to specific semiotic guidelines, such as discursive variables.

The speech is a creative unity of consciousness, its critical analysis becomes relevant when a social knowledge is expressed from a historical conception.

All speech is an object produced and interpreted. For Gómez Bocanegra, the main object of ACD is the complex reality by which social speeches are distributed predominantly.

To understand the socially significant forms of domination, the contextual models that determine the relevance of the discourse in a social situation, the discursive components of interaction of the subjects in their communication and the mental representations, through which it isRegulates speech.

For the author, the relationship of discourse and power;supposes the exercise of a real linguistic act and a mental action made interpretive. This relationship is presented in different forms of action with different intentions. The discourse then is structured by dominance and is an object produced and historically interpreted;located in time and space. The dominant structures legitimized by ideologies stabilize and retain conventions naturally. It is there where the ACD is important;generates critical awareness and promotes social action.

conclusion

In my opinion I consider that ACD is a resource that can be methodological or investigative within qualitative social research, due to its interpretive nature. It addresses the human condition in all its communicative expression and is a bridge to reduce social inequality. The ACD allows us to reveal the contradictions of the dominant speeches and of the omitted or not expressed elements, to generate awareness, social action and citizen participation.
