Abstract

This chapter takes a broad view of critical discourse analysis (CDA) which highlights how there are different avenues into the critical analysis of discourse, and not always with the same understandings or objectives. It outlines the main parameters of interest and debate and provides a particular model of CDA and offers an illustrative sample of analysis. The chapter provides the discussion of discourses of extremism and multiculturalism within an interdiscourse approach to intercultural communication which set(s) aside any a priori notions of group membership and identity and appeals to a legitimating authority in Islamist discourse include religious references. The dialectical-relational approach is greatly influenced by the philosophy of critical realism and works according to a realist ontology. The most ubiquitous features of the discourses of extremism and multiculturalism are the appeal to identity and pervasive self/other dichotomies.
