सारांश	Interpretive discourse analysis is a qualitative approach that examines how language constructs social realities, identities, and meanings within specific contexts. Operating from an interpretivist epistemology, it treats texts and talk not as transparent windows onto the world but as active sites where meaning is negotiated, and it seeks to understand those meanings from the perspective of participants situated within their social and cultural worlds.	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.
