Situation of Research Related to Critical Discourse Analysis in Thai Academic Articles from 2008-2024
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aims to explore the state of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) research in Thailand, as recorded in the system of Thai Journals Online (ThaiJO) from 2008 to 2024. The study presents its findings across five key aspects: research topics, types of concept used in studies, textual materials analyzed, frameworks, and research formats. The results reveal both the pitfalls of CDA research in Thailand and the efforts of Thai scholars to advance CDA studies to align with the global academic community.
