Zusammenfassung	Critical hermeneutic analysis combines interpretive hermeneutics with critical social theory to read texts and discourse not only for meaning but for embedded power relations, ideological distortions, and structures of domination. Originating in Habermas's critique of Gadamer and developed further by Ricoeur's hermeneutics of suspicion, the method asks both 'what does this text mean?' and 'whose interests does this meaning serve?'. It is widely used in education, social work, policy research, and health humanities.	Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is a qualitative method that examines how language in texts and talk constructs, sustains, and challenges relations of power, ideology, and social inequality. Drawing on linguistics, social theory, and critical philosophy, CDA treats discourse not merely as communication but as social practice — a site where dominance is reproduced and where resistance can be articulated. Developed in the late twentieth century by Norman Fairclough, Teun van Dijk, and Ruth Wodak, among others, CDA is applied to political speeches, media texts, policy documents, educational materials, and institutional interactions.
