Muhtasari	Interpretive critical discourse analysis (interpretive CDA) combines the power-and-ideology lens of critical discourse analysis with an interpretivist epistemology that foregrounds meaning-making, context, and the researcher's own positionality. It examines how language constructs social reality, legitimises or challenges power relations, and circulates ideological assumptions — while acknowledging that both the texts under study and the analyst's reading of them are socially situated and context-dependent.	Critical hermeneutic phenomenology is a qualitative research approach that combines Gadamerian hermeneutics — the philosophical study of interpretation — with critical social theory to examine both the lived meaning of experience and the structural, ideological, and power-laden conditions that shape it. It asks not only 'what is this experience like?' but also 'what historical, social, and political forces produce and constrain it?' The approach is widely used in education, nursing, social work, and the human sciences.
