Discourse Analusis and its Cognitive Feratures in Society

Abstract

This article explores the intersection of discourse analysis and cognitive science, focusing on how language use in social contexts reflects and shapes human thought processes. Discourse analysis examines language beyond the sentence level, while cognitive features include mental models, framing, metaphor, presupposition, memory schemas, and social categorization. The article argues that understanding cognitive features of discourse is essential for analyzing how ideologies spread, how power is maintained, and how collective beliefs are formed in society. Real-world examples from politics, media, education, and law are provided, along with methodological recommendations and discussion of challenges.
