Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is used to examine the power and ideologies embedded in language use, especially in political contexts. Using Critical Discourse Analysis, researchers are enabled to explore how language functions as a tool for influence and control in political discourses. This study analyzed commentary videos of politicians on Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial to examine how language reflects power and ideology in political discourse. Using a qualitative-exploratory design and Fairclough’s three-dimensional model of Critical Discourse Analysis, it focused on selected YouTube videos of politicians discussing the issue. The findings revealed strategic use of the pronoun “we,” with pro-impeachment groups using it negatively to demand urgent action, while anti-impeachment groups used it positively to highlight fairness. Modal verbs like “will” and “can” were used to shape public perception. Assertive and declarative speech acts helped construct narratives and justify actions. Pro-impeachment groups used language strategically to frame Duterte’s 2030 candidacy as a national threat and emphasized constitutional duty. In contrast, anti-impeachment politicians framed the trial as politically motivated. The study recommends that political leaders, media, and the public be critically aware of language use to promote transparency, avoid misinformation, and encourage balanced democratic discourse.

Discourse analysis studies language as it is used in context, focusing on communication patterns, social meaning, and interaction. This research analyzed the parent-child interaction among 20 selected Cebuano families in Cordova, Cebu, with children aged 5 – 10. The research analyzed the role of English, the communication styles employed, how often the English language is present in these interactions, and the occurrence of language shifts in these interactions. The study employed discourse analysis to analyze the audio recordings of parent-child conversations. Results showed that parents used English for educational, instrumental, bonding, disciplinary, and language developmental roles. The study identified casual, intimate, and consultative communication styles as common in these interactions. It also revealed that the English language was mixed with the Cebuano language in some cases; code-switching and code-mixing occur. Language shifts in parent-child interactions primarily during moments of instruction, discipline, and formality, and reverts to the home language during casual or emotional conversations. Each parent-child interaction reflected unique linguistic behavior shaped by parental roles, the child’s gender, and social-emotional dynamics. Mothers typically employed English in instructional and disciplinary contexts, while fathers used it more for bonding and playful negotiation. English emerged as a versatile language not only for learning and structure but also for emotional connection and daily routines, whereas Cebuano reinforced cultural identity and affective depth. Thus, the findings revealed the dynamic interplay of English and the home languages (Bisaya), emphasizing the importance of balanced bilingualism in supporting children’s language development. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term impact of these language patterns on children’s linguistic and cognitive growth.

Linguistic landscape refers to the language used in public spaces, particularly signs, billboards, and posters. This study explored the signage of public schools in Lapu- Lapu City. This study looked into the signs' language patterns (phrases, grammar, tone, etc.), what the signage reflects about the nature of the school, the identities that the school wants to declare, the possible reason why a particular font, choice of color, logo, symbols, etc. are used; the communicative functions they entail; and the advertising appeals they belong to. The researchers made transmittal letters signed by the School's Dean and each principal to carry on with the study. After permission was sought, the researchers captured images of the various signs and public displays in buildings, classrooms, and common areas around the school to analyze and describe the signs in detail. The findings presented the multiple classifications of signs, the interconnection of visual and linguistic elements in conveying the message, the reflection of the school's nature through the signs, the different functions associated with signage, and the advertising appeals, such as rational and emotional appeals. This study offers a comprehensive analysis of linguistic landscapes in school signage as it explores the languages and modes used and what they reveal about the school and the people. It is recommended that schools consider replacing torn and old signs with new ones, especially those that are no longer relevant, timely, or effective in providing the intended message.
