Discourse analysis is the analysis of spoken or written texts consisting of more than one sentence, including their social context. [2].
Discourse analysis is a method of analysing the structure of texts or utterances, taking into account both their linguistic content and their sociolinguistic context [3].
Discourse analysis is the study of the rules or patterns characterizing units of connected speech or writing longer than a sentence [Dictionary.com https://www.dictionary.com/browse/discourse-analysis].
Critical discourse analysis is a kind of discourse analytical research that mainly studies the way social power abuse, dominance, and inequality are enacted, reproduced, and resisted by text and talk in the social and political context [Hamilton, 352].
