Contemporary approaches to the analysis of political discourse
Abstract
The article examines five modern approaches to discourse analysis: critical discourse analysis, poststructuralist discourse analysis, cultural political economy, cultural discourse studies and descriptive methods. Comparative analysis is carried out on two criteria: the definition of the notion of discourse and methodological frameworks. It touches upon the problem of intersection between approaches and summarizes advantages and disadvantages of each of them.
