This article aims to discuss and elaborate theoretical problems that concern the discourse analysis and its possible connections with semiotics, literary theory and hermeneutics. The author begins with the arguments that most of linguistic scholarship has not derived sufficiently from the mentioned disciplines and has not interacted with them. The article is divided into three sections. In the first section the issue of parole is discussed. The discourse is presented as any linguistic production that is, on the one hand, determined by a multidimensional viewpoint encoded into it and, on the other hand, is responsible for creating discursive communities in social reality. All discourses, in turn, form the social heteroglossia. This Bakhtinian idea, including centripetal and centrifugal forces employed in a constitution of linguistic reality, is elaborated on at the end of the first part of the article. The following section deals with the ritualization and the self-control of discursive practices that occur in any discursive community (the notion coined by Foucault, 'order of discourse', is introduced). The third section addresses the status of words in orders of discourses, their axiology, semantics (understood as pragmatics) and semiotics as well as their dialogic identity. In the conclusion, the author emphasizes some critical remarks concerning some epistemological and ideological fundaments of Critical Discourse Analysis.

Growing research has been focused at uneven willingness of governments to conform to the tenets of global economic competition promulgated by the international agencies such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. There is also increasing interest in the developments of the new members of the European Union, including Slovakia. This study attempts to develop those explanations of the Slovak reform trail-blazing that emphasize the lack of capacity to translate social discontent into credible political opposition. It examines the issue of availability of the symbolic resources for opposing the politics of the retrenching citizens' social rights in Slovakia from historical and critical discourse perspective. First, critical discourse analysis (CDA) is introduced as apposite approach to the study of a transfer of the political ideas. Its analytical power is demonstrated on the CDA studies of the dynamic of welfare discourse in the United Kingdom and other countries. Secondly, the study presents preliminary analysis of the development of Slovak domestic academic and political discourse on social welfare and the social rights. Its main point is that the Slovak welfare reforms were backed up by the borrowed phrasal idioms and the exploited metaphors that had been already doubted as the only alternative by 'Western' academic community. Though the fermentation of social-critical discourse in Slovakia could have been facilitated by this dethronisation, accumulated supplies of arguments were not drawn by the Slovak academicians. Further research is necessary to explain why the Slovak academicians did not attempt to defend the social rights but rather rendered them as the hindrance for the development of democracy.

Applying tools of CDA on texts published on an anti-abortion, teenager-targeting campaign web site www.svobodavolby.cz, the article unveils a deeply engrained sexist bias in the language that conveys the campaign's goals as well as in the argumentative contents of the texts concerned. Sexism on both these levels leads to a severe invisibilization of women within the web presentation although the issue discussed pertains to women and female bodies mainly. Further the article analyzes potential implications of the campaign's arguments for women and their right to decide about their bodies. Since the translation of the web‘s domain into English is 'freedom of choice' and the right of informed choice is promoted by the web, the analysis of the campaign-explicating texts provides evidence, however, that the opposite is the campaign's utter aim; that is, an absolute refusal of abortions per se.

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the declaration of war speech delivered by Russian President Vladimir Putin, utilizing three distinct yet complementary analytical frameworks: Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), Narrative Analysis (NA), and Propaganda Analysis (PA). Through the application of these methods, the research aims to examine the linguistic features, narrative structures, and propagandistic elements within the speech to better understand the persuasive tactics employed by Putin and the socio-political implications of his rhetoric. The findings of this study contribute to the growing body of literature on political discourse analysis and highlight the value of combining multiple analytical approaches for a more nuanced understanding of political rhetoric. Ultimately, this research emphasizes the significant role that language and narrative play in shaping public opinion and promoting specific political agendas.

The aim of the paper is to consider the problem of political and public communication in selected television debates. In particular, there have been analyzed the strategies of argumentation and vocabulary used in the debates. The main question of the article refers to the problem of the quality of political debates: are they a kind of ritual spectacle, or are they based on rational argumentation? The whole consideration has been based on Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). The most important goal of CDA is to reveal the structures of dominance and power located in language.
