Résumé	Longitudinal hermeneutic analysis combines the interpretive depth of hermeneutics with repeated data collection across time, tracing how meanings, understandings, and interpretations evolve within individuals, texts, or communities. Rooted in Gadamerian and Ricoeurian hermeneutics, this approach treats meaning as temporally situated and subject to revision, making it particularly valuable in humanities and social science research that seeks to understand change in lived interpretation over months or years.	Discourse analysis is a qualitative research methodology that examines how language, communication, and power shape meaning, identity, and social reality. Developed across linguistics, sociology, and psychology (particularly by Norman Fairclough and Jonathan Potter), discourse analysis goes beyond content to analyze language use as a social practice that constitutes and reflects power relations, ideologies, and social structures.
