The investigation can employ all the above frameworks collectively and individually in a manuscript.Grammatical Metaphor under metafunctions of language in Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) is twofold: ideational and interpersonal. Ideational GM incorporates nominalization and process types and Interpersonal GM includes modal metaphor and mood metaphor. In CDA as interdisciplinary analytical perspective seeks to inquire into the link between power and discourse, and particularly to examine the way in which authority, dominance and social inequality are constructed, sustained, reproduced and resisted in the discourse of written texts and spoken words. Rhetoric is also considered as a power for exciting and moving the audience in any way the speaker wants. In all its forms, rhetoric is of crucial importance in politics. It can be a very powerful tool to shape public feeling and opinions about political issues.

Areas of interest include Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), Grammatical Metaphor (GM) and Rhetoric in Political and Advertisement discourses, but are not limited to these discourses and covers various discourses such as: The discourse of medicine, education, law, business, and any other specialized discourses employing the above frameworks.
