Abstract

This article tries to review the origin of CDA and introduces some of the influential theoretical schools on it. Although these approaches differ from each other, on the basis of the theoretical foundations and analytic tools, but they share three concepts of critique, power and ideology. The article emphasizes on two main points: a dialectic relation between society, culture, politics and language that this complex relation requires multidisciplinary research; and the fact that CDA cannot be taken as a theory due to its tendency to adopt an eclectic approach in the analysis of the data
