| Abstract | ||
| The integration of gender studies with discourse analysis propels forward one's understanding of the expression, experience, and negotiation of gender in relation to language and society. While Gender Studies offers important perspectives on the socio- political dimensions of power relations and identities, the multidisciplinary approach is guided by the Discourse Analysis of Literature to untangle the ways that language constructs and sustains gender boundaries. The examination of the mutual relationship between gender and discourse necessitates the study of the evolution of both fields in tandem. This approach not only enhances our understanding of these theories but also helps to challenge dominant and discriminatory discourses. Intense focus on the harm inflicted upon the so-called ‘marginalized groups’ constitutes an equally important concern for Critical Discourse analysis. As a result, studying the muted groups’ discourses becomes an analysis of the sociolinguistic and cultural conditions that perpetuate their marginalization. The lives of underrepresented, underprivileged and excluded groups are complicated by issues of access and marginalization. This study aims at providing a full critical discourse analysis of several Afghan women's voices. It aims to challenge the stereotypes of disadvantaged women as subservient characters and provide a new viewpoint. Furthermore, the study also attempts to apply the “Muted Groups Theory” and “Norman Fairclough’s Model” of discourse analysis. | ||
