Résumé	Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies (CADS) is a mixed-methods approach that combines the quantitative power of corpus linguistics with the interpretive depth of discourse analysis to investigate how meanings, evaluations, and ideologies are constructed across large collections of text. Pioneered by Alan Partington and colleagues, CADS uses corpus techniques such as keyness, collocation, and concordancing to identify patterns no analyst could find by reading alone, then 'shunts' back to close qualitative reading to interpret what those patterns mean in their discursive context.	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.
