Questions which relate to four main dimensions of situation:

Ten main questions
The significance and interest of each of these questions are explained by Fairclough (2001c:94-l 16) in details.
most significant for critical analysis:
A. Vocabulary
B. Grammar
C. Textual structures
(and some sub-questions)
asked of a text

Types of speech act and the directness or indirectness of their expression

Social Matrix of Discourse
Orders of Discourse
Ideological and Political Effects of Discourse
Metaphor
The objective is to analyze and characterize the metaphors employed in the discourse sample, comparing them to metaphors used elsewhere to convey similar meanings. The analysis aims to determine the factors, such as cultural or ideological influences, that shape the selection of metaphors
Wording
The objective is to contrast the ways meanings are worded with the ways they are worded in other (types of) text and to identify the interpretative perspective that underlies this wording (Fairclough 1992b: 190-4).
Grammar
Three dimensions of the grammar of the clause are differentiated here: ‘transitivity’, ‘theme’ and ‘modality’
Ethos
Ethos involves not just discourse, but the whole body. Any of the analytical categories listed here maybe relevant to ethos (Fairclough 1992b: 166-7).
Cohesion
The objective is to show how clauses and sentences are connected together in the text.
Interactional Control
The objective is to describe the larger-scale organizational properties of interactions that contribute to the orderly functioning and control of interactions • Exploring topic control: Examining how topics are introduced, developed, and established, and whether topic control is symmetrical or asymmetrical. • Investigating agenda setting: Understanding how agendas are set, policed, and evaluated by participants.
Presupposition
• Are they linked to the prior texts of others, or the prior texts of the text producer? • Are they sincere or manipulative?
Discourse Representation
• What is represented aspects of context and style, or just ideational meaning? • Is the represented discourse clearly demarcated? Is it translated into the voice of the representing discourse? • How is it contextualized in the representing discourse?
Manifest Intertextuality
situated between discourse practice and text, raises questions about the elements involved in producing a text. It focuses on the features that are evident or "manifest" on the surface of the text.
Conditions of Discourse Practice:
• The aim is to specify the social practices of text production and consumption related to the type of discourse represented by the sample. • The analysis explores whether the text is produced or consumed individually or collectively, and if there are distinguishable stages of production
Coherence
The analysis considers the heterogeneity and ambivalence of the text for specific interpreters and the inferential work required.
Intertextual Chains
The objective here is to specify the distribution of a (type of) discourse sample by describing the intertextual chains it enters into, that is the series of text types it is transformed into or out of (see Fairclough 1992b: 130-2).
Interdiscursivity
• Identify discourse types and justify interpretations through text analysis. • Characterize the sample overall in terms of genre and its implications for production, distribution, and consumption. • Determine if the sample draws upon multiple genres.
• Influence of Fairclough's model: Mentioning that this research follows the models of Fairclough (1989) more closely for analyzing the corpus data from women's magazines, but acknowledging that C.D.A. is not restricted to any one particular model and encompasses various interrelated aspects • Values commitment • Justification of analyses
• Categorical and modalized modalities • Deontic modalities • Epistemic modalities
• Features characterizing the drawn styles • Mixing of styles • Styles drawn upon
• Representation of social events • Grammatical metaphor • Representation of processes
•features characterizing the drawn discourses • Mixing of discourses • Discourses drawn upon
•Metaphorical relations • Types of statements • Predominant types of exchange and speech function
• Grammatical relations between clauses • Higher-level semantic relations • Predominant semantic relations
• Ideological assumption • Existential, prepositional, and value assumptions
• Direct and indirect reporting • Attribution of voices • Inclusion and exclusion of other texts/voices
• Genre influences • Mix of genres • Genre chain
• Examining text chains or networks • Framing within social practices • Identifying the social even

Analyzes patterns of communication as part of cultural knowledge and behavior
It consists of four elements

states that is
The discourse as a social interaction and negotiation of meaning in the use of language
Identifies three ways of studying signs
Study of the relation signs to interpreter
Semantics
Study of how signs are related to the object to which they are applicable
Syntax

The science of the relation of signs to their interpreters

Some authors mention that is:
Labov y Fanshel
Accurately identify the intended meaning of the speaker's utterance and respond to it accordingly.
John Austin y John Searle
Meaning and action are related to language.
Taxonomy of speech acts according to Searle
