Abstract

. over the last few years, discourse analysis has become a key trend in both the theory and practice of German-language linguistics. From a linguistic point of view, discourse analysis can be seen both as an approach to speech analysis and as a principle of examining texts from a duality perspective. Within the German linguistic tradition, critical discourse analysis is represented by various schools such as the Duisburg School, the Heidelberg/Mannheim group, the Frankfurt School and others, each with its own features. For example, the Duisburg School, associated with the figures of Siegfried J?ger and J?rgen Link, explores political discourses, touching on themes of neo-fascism and racism. Link develops the concept of «Sysycoll», which views discourse as a network of cultural symbols that connects different discursive fields. We have endeavoured to outline in detail the German-language concepts and methods of various strands in the field of critical discourse analysis, which allows for a better understanding of their relevance and application in the social sciences. These different approaches critisize power relations and social oppression by exploring how discourse shapes and transforms social realities. The diversity of methods and focuses allows researchers to examine complex social phenomena from different angles, revealing mechanisms for challenging dominant discourses and suggesting strategies for social change.
