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.	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.
