CDA and 'The Place That Sends You Mad'

More about the book

Focusing on the application of Critical Discourse Analysis, this seminar paper explores the pervasive nature of bureaucratic language, particularly in Germany. It highlights how such language infiltrates various discourse practices beyond institutional settings, such as business correspondence. The analysis includes a well-remembered movie scene that resonates with citizens, illustrating the commonality of bureaucratic experiences and the challenges they pose in everyday life. The paper emphasizes the relevance of understanding these discourse practices in contemporary contexts.
