Longitudinal Critical Discourse Analysis
Longitudinal Critical Discourse Analysis (LCDA) combines the critical discourse analysis tradition — which examines how language constructs and reproduces power, ideology, and social inequality — with a longitudinal design that collects and compares texts at multiple time points. By tracking discursive change over time, LCDA reveals how ideological representations, social identities, and power relations shift, stabilise, or are contested across different historical or political periods.
