Defining and determining the most effective methods of critical discourse analysis to detect online misogyny

Description
Critical discourse analysis is a methodology that enables a strong assessment of what is meant when language is used to describe and explain. Critical discourse analysis examines the form, structure and content of discourse, from the grammar and wording employed in its creation to its reception and interpretation by a wider audience. The employment of verbs, pronouns and nouns within discourse is as much part of this analysis as the assessment of the content and tone of the discourse.
