A pragmatic view of language and a critical study of discourse can advance nursing inquiry toward the study of racism, heterosexism, classism, and health. In critical language inquiry notions about humans, health and illness are seen as constructed in societal discourses. Critical language inquiry challenges nurse researchers to theorize not which research questions to ask, but how to ask research questions that broaden knowledge about the interconnections among language, discourse, health, and society. Critical discourse analysis, as a methodology, can be of significant utility in exploring the relationships among health, discourse, power, and society.
对语言的务实观点和对话语的批判性研究可以推动护理研究朝着对种族主义、异性恋主义、阶级主义和健康的研究发展。在批判性语言研究中，关于人类、健康和疾病的观念被视为在社会话语中构建而成。批判性语言研究促使护理研究者进行理论化思考，不是思考要提出哪些研究问题，而是思考如何提出能够拓宽关于语言、话语、健康和社会之间相互联系的知识的研究问题。作为一种方法论，批判性话语分析在探索健康、话语、权力和社会之间的关系方面可能具有重大效用。
