<DIV>> I am a public health physician (with a background in
communication and history) currently completing a doctorate in
which I have used CDA to examine speeches and press releases of
Federal politicians responsible for the health of Australia's
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and using/ used
post-colonial theory (among others) to explain the evolution of
policy language, discourses, outputs and outcomes. </DIV>
<DIV>> </DIV>
<DIV>> Really interesting area; I too did not find similar
research, although van Dijk's work has been very helpful, as
have others collected together in </DIV>
