ABSTRACT
The later 1990s and early 2000 in critical areas occurred in the field of applied linguistics.
The determination of this analysis is to find out how the role of CDA in the power of media
discourse studies. The devices that have been used to discover social spectacles while
informative the true identity of social actors.
Key word: Media Discourse, Social Actor, CDA, Power
1. Introduction
Media discourse is an interesting perspective to explore, especially when objectivity,
becomes the main topic- "Do media objective in their news report?: The majority of papers both
media and discourse studies still asking the same question until Norv. Since the objectivity of
reporting the reality in the media were so much influenced by power and ideology of the elite or
the media itself. the question will always rise is stated by Hamuddin (2015)
3 identical significant researchers since the 1990s at CDA are Ruth Wodak, Teun van
Dijk, and Norman Fairclough. They have dissimilar outlines of the discourse analysis theory and
methods. Van Dijk contributed his first journal entitled "discourse and society" in 1990 surveyed
by several related books. The critical discourse of studies has ascended before the critical
analysis of the language of how and why cumulative discourse contributes to the reproduction of
macrostructures and consideration to cultural and ideological touches. Especially critical to the
question of power, hegemony and resistance in various fields of language, the term 'critical' in
the discourse have been discussed in several ways for the use of language and the autocracy of
power in society. Mahboob and Paltridge (2013) state it is important to examine the power and
understand the way in which power is exercised by overloaded groups of domination.
The application of CDA in the multidisciplinary field consists of various analyzes and
methods (Wodak and Meyer 2003) but not cleaned for textual analysis and conversation (Van
Dijk, 2009). CDA is an approach to analyze complex 'social phenomena' and requires a multi-
approach (Wodak dan Meyer 2009), but Jorgensen and Philips (2002) regard the CDA as a
multidisciplinary approach to analyze the relationship between "discourse and social and cultural
development" across cultural domains associated with this, Fairclough (1995) argues that the
purpose of the CDA explores the systematic relationship of the victim which is not clear and
systematic:
Social structure, broader relationships, and culture
Events, techniques, and discursive practices
Van Dijk (2002) approves that CDA prepositions that focus on how abuse of power,
dissimilarity, and dominance are experienced in social and political interruptions. Furthermore,
another originator of the CDA, Janks (1997) views CDA as a form of social practice in which
critical theory is applied to analyze impervious relationships. The theory of critical theory is
qualified by the CDA that discusses the language of power and power struggles that at once
reveal who the original identity [enindas, while Van Dijk (2003) stated that the Critical
Discourse attentions on how the mental depiction of social groups impacts social structures. The
theme of the conversation can affect how a person deals with important information in text or
conversation. The interdisciplinary multi-methodological approach becomes a feature of CDA,
not a separate discipline. Van Dijk (2009) Represents CDA, is a combination of theory and
critical applications, not critical analysis leading to (critical discourse studies). Sketches of the
CDA principle objectives used in reviewing current CDA studies by Van Dijk and Wodak &
Meyer (2009):
CDA highlights natural assessment. the assessment as a need to explain the phenomenon
under investigation provides simplicity as to why certain interpretations are more
effective than others.
CDA is regarded as a social research because it is critically related to the issues of
understanding and understanding of human rights, the abuse of power in the realm of
racism, classism, sexism and so on, and social dissimilarity.
CDA is interested in unethical issues that investigate the dominant group of people who
experience discursive dissimilarity.
CDA is an interdisiplinary of the following theory, method and practical applications in
serious problems which do not binding in the community.
CDA is problem-oriented rather than focusing on a particular theory or discipline because
its implications are explicitly addressed in layman's terms to society.
Significant how the CDA as a critical discourse analysis method plays an important passion
to expose strengths in media discourse studies is the goal of this review. Detailed objective is to
scrutinize the presentation of the CDA methodology in related studies.
These four play vital role in a broader contextual strategy of positive self presentation and
negative other presentation. It discusses the individual’s action as a member of a group while
firmly expressing various ideological nations. Positive selfrepresentation emphasizes
individual’s positive behavior as in saying a positive thing about us and saying a negative thing
about them. This positive deportment as in an immaterial typical of group conflict and as the
interaction pattern opposes the other group (Van Dijk 2000). The negative other presentation
depicts that no negative saying should be directed at us and no positive saying should be
directed to them (Van Dijk 2000). This implies that the term us always refers to positive saying
and beliefs in a social context while, the term them refers to negativity, criticism and other
negative stands.
7. METHODOLOGY OF REVIEW
In review, the first electronic database search was run in the Google Scholar database and
ProQuest Scholarly Journal. Database Proquest to search study related reviews about ni because
it is a dependable database and provides a variety of information that includes some respected
sources. Most importantly, ProQuest has become a university contribution to provide necessary
resources for students. in addition, Google Scholar is used because it is freely accessible and
directories literature in various disciplines. The search is limited by the time period from 2005 to
2015. Kash said such as critical discourse analysis and media is used as a word to be pursued.
Other criteria used as a review are based on the authenticity of the data. initially, 30 related
studies have been downloaded from the ProQuest and Google Scholar databases. of the 30
studies, 14 studies were eliminated in the absence of a concrete theoretical framework. 16 studies
were read thoroughly and their contents were analyzed in accordance with the main theoretical
framework. Then, the main framework used in the study was compiled based on 3 main themes.
the first theme relates to the application of CDA using the Fairclough analytical framework. The
second and third themes related to the implementation of CDA with the Van Dijk framework.
