Power and dominance are two crucial factors in critical pragmatic studies as well as critical discourse ones.However, approaching them differs from one field of study to another.The question raised is intended to seek for views regarding this difference.
You might want to look at my theoretical synthesis of Tittle's Control Balance Theory and symbolic interactionism in my article (attached).
Thank you very much Peter indeed for showing interest in answering the question and providing me with your article which seems quite useful as an answer to the question I raised in this regard. That's very kind of you
Hello Fareed Hameed Al-hindawi,
As you have rightly observed , critical discourse analysis and critical pragmatics generally but not specifically deal with power and dominance; however, they differ in the analytical approaches they follow in order to fulfill their aims. Within the lines of Social Semiotics , CDA aims to investigate the functional relations between sociopolitical systems that collectively construct meaning related to discursively enacted dominance in an attempt to fathom out the discursive means of mental and social control .By contrast, critical pragmatics is an important theory rooted in philosophy of language, semantics and pragmatics regarding language as a mode of action with communicative intentions connecting language as action to language as possessor of content governed by reflexive and referential truth conditions (see Perry, 2001). Under such perspectivization, utterances produced by the speaker are in effect information-carrying events with different levels of contents or truth conditions. For further details, the following links can hopefully provide you with the information addressing the issue.
Best regards,
R. Biria
