תקציר	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.	Longitudinal Thematic Analysis (LTA) extends standard thematic analysis to data collected at multiple time points from the same participants or contexts. Rather than producing a single cross-sectional account, LTA maps how themes emerge, persist, transform, or disappear over time, enabling researchers to understand change, continuity, and process in qualitative terms. It is widely used in health, education, and social science research where lived experience unfolds over months or years.
