Item Restricted Critical Discourse Analysis in the Arab World: A critical review(Bangor University, 2023) Asiri, Tahani Mohammed; Tenbrink, ThoraStudies in the field of critical discourse analysis have shown breadth in the methods of analysis of critical discourse (Wodak, Mayer 2016). The aim of this study was to find out how Arabs perceive the concept of critical discourse analysis. This study also intended to identify the extent to which CDA has been applied to Arab discourse and the degree to which its application aligns with the approaches of its founders. The current study also targeted to introduce English scholars and readers to Arab efforts in Arab critical discourse analysis, thereby contributing to the enrichment and development of this field of study. The current research used a qualitative approach to analyze and interpret texts in order to learn the methodologies used and added by Arab researchers. Analysis and monitoring were the most appropriate methodologies for the type of study such as critical review. The studies discussed in this paper have been divided into two groups: research written in Arabic that applied CDA to Arabic discourse, and research written in English that applied CDA to Arabic discourse with the goal of establishing the difference in the application of methodologies. The findings revealed that English research that applied CDA to Arabic discourse only committed to applying the proposed methodologies while Arab studies applied the proposed methodologies and added other methodologies stemming from the nature of Arab culture and language. Since each language has its own characteristics, which cannot be applied to other languages, what is considered an advantage in one language is a criterion of weakness in another language. The study also revealed a lack of studies in the field of analysis of critical discourse in Arab culture stemming from the nature of Arab political society and Arab linguistic specificities18 0Item Restricted .Critical Discourse Analysis in the Arab World: A critical review(Bangor University, 2023) Asiri, Tahani Mohammed; Tenbrink, ThoraStudies in the field of critical discourse analysis have shown breadth in the methods of analysis of critical discourse (Wodak, Mayer 2016).
