خلاصه	Multiple case-based critical discourse analysis (multi-case CDA) combines the comparative logic of multiple case study design with the ideological and power-focused analytic apparatus of critical discourse analysis. The researcher selects two or more purposefully chosen cases, collects relevant texts or spoken discourse within each, applies CDA to reveal how language constructs power relations and ideologies within each case, and then synthesises findings across cases to identify patterns, contrasts, and broader sociocritical insights that a single-case design could not yield.	Thematic Analysis (TA) is a qualitative research methodology for identifying, analyzing, and reporting patterns (themes) in qualitative data. Developed systematically by Virginia Braun and Victoria Clarke (2006), TA is flexible and accessible, applicable across diverse theoretical frameworks and data types, making it one of the most widely used qualitative methods in psychology, health research, and social sciences.
