摘要
In this response to a critique by Hugh Tyrwhitt-Drake of an earlier cuticle (Flowerdew, 1997a), this paper discusses questions of description and interpretation in critical discourse analysis (CDA). In particular it discusses these issues under the following five postulates: CDA does not deal with 'facts'; CDA is reflexive; CDA is open to multiple readings; CDA must be plausible; and CDA is subject to the same limitations of linguistic communication as any other discipline.
