Critical Discourse Analysis and Literature

Author

Abstract

This article is an attempt to indicate the relationship among critical discourse analysis, linguistic criticism and literary text studies. Interactional processes, apart from making use of media, political, social and philosophical studies, take benefit of the literary texts. Literature can be an appropriate setting to communicate ideology, therefore it is a critical device and should be analysed as such. Critical discourse analysts believe that producing, reading and analyzing a text depends on macro and micro contexts of socio- cultural situations. As a result the literary texts and literary analyses are the products of these particular contexts.
