The implication in critical discourse analyses is how this study raises the rules of language and linguistic practices that are implanted together with the relationship of a practice or social act that is often not realized by us so far. This study also criticizes the tendency of language studies to simply use linguistic rules and practices, as objects that are described, in a way that obscures their ideological and political inculcations.
