SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) has become a very influential academic research activity across subjects in social, political, and linguistic sciences. It scrutinizes the power relations, ideological manipulations, and hegemony. Critical analysis of the language of journalism is used here as an attempt to explain how a single reality can be presented and viewed entirely differently by different people having a range of religious and political perspectives, by showing how pro- and anti-Iranian newspapers can represent their point of view and their different ideologies through using language. This study presents a corpus consisting of three pro-Iranian reports besides three anti-Iranian ones. It has tried to analyze the six selected reports in terms of Halliday's (1994) Transitivity Theory and Van Dijk's (1998) categories. These samples concern ideological effects introduced by Van Dijk including the use of the elements listed as Actor description, Modality, Nominalization, Comparison, Categorization, Evidentiality, Example, Illustration, Generalization, Hyperbole, Implication, Irony, Lexicalization, National Self-glorification, Negative Other-presentation, Norm expression, Number game, Positive Self-presentation, Vagueness, Euphemism, Presupposition, and Authority. Such an analysis has tried to show how the reports are similar or different regarding pro- and anti-Iranian reports in terms of lexico-grammatical choices by applying Halliday's process types including Material, Mental, Verbal, Relational, and Possessive processes and how the lexico-grammatical choices are related to ideological positions. The findings corroborated the fact that Critical Discourse Analysis can be an appropriate method for the detection of biased and manipulative language. The results indicated that there are significant differences between Pro- and Anti-Iranian newspapers in their ideological points and in their in terms of lexico-grammatical choices. These findings may have some implications for teaching of academic writing especially to foreign language learners of English..
