The Cognitive-Psychological Basis of Critical Discourse Analysis
Evolutionary psychology attempts to explain human thinking and behavioral patterns from the perspective of adaptive evolution in natural and social environments.Previous studies have largely overlooked the perspectives of cognitive linguistics and evolutionary psychology,resulting in subjectivity and bias in the analytical process.This study considers the nutrition of pragmatics and relevance theory,combined with cognitive frameworks,to analyze the significant contributions of these theories in explaining and interpreting critical discourse analysis (CDA).Cognitive linguistic methods can reduce the subjectivity in CDA by providing more explanatory models that enhance the scientific and reliable nature of discourse analyses.Future CDA should focus more on the construction of cognitive representations by the addressee to verify the rationality and validity of the psychological modules or mechanisms proposed in evolutionary psychology.
