“…The main objective in all the various approaches to critical discourse analysis is that it promotes awareness regarding the strategies used in establishing, maintaining and reproducing symmetrical or asymmetrical relations of power as enacted by means of discourse (Ghazali, 2017). Critical Discourse analysts focus on the elements of discourse in which dominant ideologies are adopted or challenged, and competing and contradictory ideologies coexist (Tenorio, 2011).…”

“…Among central ideas of Critical Discourse Analysis are the conceptions of power, discourse, control: CDA operates under the assumption that institutions possess discursive resources and power to bring about and maintain inequality or exercise certain control over social groups, to order and influence what people talk about and the way they do it (Hidalgo Tenorio, 2011; Wodak and Meyer, 2008). In a similar way to discourse analysis, CDA focuses on the means and results of language integration into social and psychological phenomena, but the role of language within this framework is that of a power tool (Willig, 2014).…”

“…The analysis within the CDA framework can be carried out top-down: “analysts begin with their understanding of the content; or bottom-up, where the starting point is the linguistic detail” (Hidalgo Tenorio, 2011), or as a combination of both – as was the case with this study. Decoding the meanings integrated into sentences and texts and viewing the ways these meanings played out in particular contexts was an analytical procedure that required a more conscious approach of the authors of this paper towards language and content analysis.…”

Drawing on the studies of linguistics, axiology and discourse analysis, this paper contributes to the linguistic framework of value-based communication studies by establishing the algorithm of shaping values in popular science IT discourse via the set of linguo-axiological methods. The authors' aims include establishing dominating communicative strategies employed by the authors of the texts; identifying language structures and lexical means responsible for the both explicit and implicit formation and verbalization of certain values represented in the texts about YouTube; organizing the identified values into a system as presented by the authors of the texts. The paper uncovers dominant YouTube text characteristics, focusing on the instrumental role of values this type of discourse represents, and implements a complex methodological set (CDA and linguo-axiological analysis) in order to outline three basic communicative strategies that the authors of the texts employ: the information strategy; the instruction strategy; the evaluation strategy. The conducted research reveals that the texts of mass media about YouTube contain the following values, classified by the authors into three axiological groups: relevance (approval, authenticity, entertainment, fame, influence, popularity); relationship (accessibility, connection, feedback, relatability); profession (career, competitiveness, money, promotion, time). The results of the study include theoretical conclusions about how the modern-day discourse of information technology (IT-discourse) reflects both fundamental and profession-specific human values, thus shaping the way addressees perceive the industry through language. These findings make it possible to form a new type of IT-discourse text architecture, which would take into account the pragmatic-axiological charge necessary to shape and divert the set of addressees’ values.

“…Accordingly, the term 'critical' means denaturalizing the powers and ideas that are hidden in texts (p. 5). Tenorio (2011) points out that CDA is used to reveal the manipulation practiced by the discursive practices and fight the practices legitimized through the discourse (p.183).…”

In the light of 2015 Canadian federal election, the present study conducts a multimodal critical discourse analysis of Justin Trudeau's Facebook images and the captions accompanying them. This is carried out through using Machin's and Mayr's toolkit (2012) that helps conduct multimodal critical discourse analysis of the linguistic and visual modes. This study aims at proving the importance of the other modes along with language, highlighting the linguistic and visual techniques used by the Trudeau in his Facebook page to reveal his ideology, and determining how the two modes work together and complement each other.
