언어학적 전환, 비판적 언어학 전통, 그리고 비판적 담론연구의 출현

초록

The purpose of this study is to provide theoretical and methodological resources to understand how CDS (Critical Discourse Studies) has been emerged as a research methodology. In this review of literature, the theoretical foundations will first be discussed on the tradition of linguistic turn and structuralistic movement, including Althusser’s ideology, Foucault’s power and discourse, Gramsci’s hegemony, Hall’s cultural study, as well as the tradition of critical linguistics including Halliday’s systematic functional grammar, and Bakhtin’s intertextuality. CDS clearly intends to incorporate social theories into discourse analysis and advocates social commitment and interventionism in researches. The main features and domains of CDS are discussed in this paper, with emphasis on the theory formation (how texts and discourses work in ideological interests with powerful political consequences) by one of CDS’s most prominent scholars, Norman Fairclough. Th e strengths as well as the limitations of the Fairclough’s model-based research are also discussed. In the conclusion, the article makes some suggestions for future directions of CDS methodological development.
