Linguistic analysis is a new approach to studying religious texts, including the Holy Qur'ān, which by extracting the cultural components of the language, depicts its anthropological aspects and by discovering the interactions of language with social-intellectual structures in the texts, removes many semantic ambiguities. Different and even doubtful interpretations of meaning, such as inducing the concept of suicide about  ayah 15th of Surah Al-Hajj, doubles the necessity of rereading this ayah. Therefore, in the present article, with a descriptive-analytical approach, an attempt was made to provide a purposeful reading of the ayah and to answer the doubts raised through analyzing the discursive system of the text of the ayah. The findings of the research showed that the discursive network that is formed by taking into account the intra-textual context and the extra-linguistic context indicates the stubbornness of the opponents of the monotheistic discourse of the Qur'ān, who argue with the truth. In the opening ayahs of Surah Al-Hajj, we are faced with an intelligent provoking system that tries to influence the ability of the audience. In response to this discourse, the ayah prescribes an undoable action, and in order to stimulate the audience to negate the action, it uses emotional tension to finally prove the discourse of divine providence. This discursive system is subject to changing the situation from primary conditions, i.e. motivational role to secondary conditions or epistemic role. The primary condition is the suspicion of divine help and the secondary condition is belief in the discourse of divine providence. Here, the speaker intends to lead the hearer to negate the action (have no doubt about divine help).

Van Leeuwen's semantic sociological model is one of the new approaches to and branches of critical discourse analysis, allowing critics to uncover the underlying layers of existing discourse by identifying the text's hidden layers and evaluating its social players.  The most often told story in the Holy Qur'ān is that of the Prophet Musa (AS), which because of its discourse system, the social character analysis, and discourse-oriented elements, one can better understand the text and uncover its hidden ideology. Using Van Leeuwen's model, the authors of this descriptive-analytical article thus attempted to analyze the discourse-oriented elements of the account of Prophet Musa (AS) in Surah Taha in order to determine how its social actors are represented. Thus, the most important question that the present research aims to answer concerns identifying the most frequent discourse elements of the account of Prophet Musa in Surah Taha according to Van Leeuwen's model, and the reason for this. The results show that van Leeuwen's discourse model is useful in evaluating the discourse system of Prophet Musa's (AS) story in this surah. Additionally, the frequency of the inclusion components (637 cases) is higher than those of the exclusion components (137 cases). This is consistent with the story's objective and indicates that the author plans to avoid hiding anything by showcasing proactive social agents so that the audience can easily and clearly learn the lesson.

Conflict is an inevitable part of every intimate relationship, especially the couples’ relationship. The narrative that couples present about conflict is reflection of their worldview and attitude towards problems and plays an important role in how they deal with conflict. An appropriate therapeutic intervention to marital conflicts also requires critical attention to the dominant discourses in the narrative of conflicted couples. Therefore, the present research was conducted with the aim of qualitative investigation of the dominant discourses in the narrative of conflicted couples. The data was collected by purposeful sampling and semi-structured interviews with 26 couples. After analyzing the data using thematic analysis method, other-centered, self-centered, and situation-centered discourses were identified as the dominant discourses. The results showed that among the communication components of self, situation and other, most of the discourses are directed to the other, self and situation respectively. In the sense that in conflicted couples’ definition of conflict, among the external factors, the individual and the relationship are more important than the situation. In other-centered discourses, language is used as a tool for demanding and complaining about the spouse as the main focus of conflicts, and in self-centered discourses, language is used as a tool to abdicate one's responsibility and express domination, self-praise, and power. In situation-centered discourses, the function of language is to complain about stressful changes. As a result, the dominant discourses of conflicted couples tends to present a negative and unfavorable image of the spouse and the situation, and to ignore their role in conflicts. In general, the narrative of conflicted couples is full of problem-oriented language instead of solution-oriented language, and instead of an interactive definition of conflict, couples tend to present their individual definitions and adopt an I-centered or you-centered approach to problems.

Ecological criticism examines the relationship between man and his environment; a relationship that has undergone transformations throughout history. One of the causes of such a transformation is the discourse of colonialism, which is prominent in the collection of stories "Gharibeha va Pesarak Bomi." In this research, we have analyzed the impact of colonial discourse on the environment in the collection of stories "Gharibeha va Pesarak Bomi" by Ahmed Mahmoud to take a small step toward raising awareness in dealing with the environment. Therefore, using a descriptive-analytical method with an interdisciplinary approach, and according to Foucault, in this collection of stories, instead of focusing on the sources of power, we have examined its consequences in order to investigate the destructive effects of colonial discourse on the natural and human environment. This vision is necessary for our human society, which has suffered from environmental crises, to become aware of the appropriate behavior toward the environment. The results of this research on the collection of stories "Gharibeha va Pesarak Bomi" indicate that the discourse of colonization has turned the environment into a subject subjugated to power and distanced it from its object. By moving nature away from its position as an object, it has caused pollution, which has led to problems for human life. In fact, man and the environment have been vehicles for exercising the power of colonial discourse, which is evident in categories such as air and water pollution, disturbance of ecological balance, lack of rainfall, cutting down of palm trees, soil erosion, separation of man from nature, loss of peace from people's lives, noise and visual pollution, poverty, unemployment, migration, creation of tension and conflicts between people, disregard for national and epic foundations, creation of class gaps, and reduced life expectancy. In short, society, economy, and ecology in this collection of stories, influenced by colonial discourse, have been ineffective measures for sustainable development because they have not moved in alignment with it; rather, they have been in opposition to it.

One of the fields that scholars and experts in literary studies pay attention to today is the semiotics-semantics of ancient literary texts based on discourse analysis. Ferdowsi's Shahnameh is a precious work whose greatness and scope, analysis and interpretation of its texts from various dimensions make it necessary for the richness of Persian literature. Considering the importance of Ferdowsi Shahnameh and new approaches to the analysis of literary texts, the purpose of this article is to analyze the sign-semantics of discourse in Ferdowsi Shahnameh. According to the requirements of an article and in order to study in depth in this field, two epic tragic stories from this book, namely "The Story of Rostam and Sohrab" and "The Story of Rostam and Esfandiar" have been selected as the study sample. The research method is descriptive-analytical and based on Norman Fairclough critical discourse analysis. The results show that in the discourse of both stories, Rostam is at the center of thought as an invincible Iranian hero; And what is of irreplaceable value for Rostam is the preservation of Iran's privacy and individual freedom. In both narrations, despite the predominance of negative results, the narration is such that Rostam's authority is maintained in two dimensions of homeland freedom and individual freedom. Therefore, the signs indicate Rostam's heroism and the discourse is based on the pillar of freedom (individual, social).

considering the significant effects of the Taliban's return to power on Iran, it is crucial to analyze this event from various perspectives. Therefore, the central question of this paper focuses on the examination of the Taliban’s discourse within the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and its ideological repercussions for governance in Iran. The hypothesis of this paper suggests that the Taliban's rule over Afghanistan is underpinned by discursive foundations and has multiple political and social implications, which are both shaped by this discourse and directly impact Iran. Research findings indicate that the Taliban’s discourse is not theological but rather reflects a form of Salafi fundamentalism that is incompatible with Afghanistan's sociocultural fabric, exacerbating internal tensions and leading to social instability. This instability poses negative consequences for governance in Iran, ranging from conflicts between Shia and Sunni discourses to issues such as an increase in the number of migrants. The research adopts a discourse analysis approach, with data gathered through library research.

Numerous studies have been conducted on movements and socio-political unrest, examining them from multiple perspectives. In Iran, many studies have focused on social transformations, often identifying identity as one of the causes of such changes. The central question of this article is the relationship between identity pluralism and political and social tensions in Iran, with a focus on the period after the reform era. The hypothesis suggests that identity in Iran today is not monolithic, given that it has manifested at subnational, national, and transnational levels, and that identity has become fragmented, globalized, and virtualized. As a result, during social tensions, each dimension of identity can align with or be influenced by competing ideologies or discourses. The findings of this study reveal that in various instances of social unrest, one or more aspects of existing identities become activated, playing a pivotal role in driving tensions. The study adopts a discourse analysis approach, with data collection conducted through library research.

The aim of the current research is to analyze the discourse of tourism development with a justice-oriented and moderate approach. The present research method was discourse analysis and applicable in terms of purpose. The statistical sample in this research was a total of 60 texts, including all texts expressed by government managers in the tourism sector in two historical periods of governance in the Islamic Republic of Iran, with justice-oriented discourse and moderation discourse in 8-year periods. The library method was also used to collect data. The findings showed that the characteristics of traditional public administration included: applying the authority of the government over all departments, intense hierarchical structures, integrity of regulations and working procedures, separation of administration from politics, and strict controls. Also, the characteristics of modern public administration included: deregulation, privatization, adjustment of manpower, and market competition. Justice-oriented discourse management is close to modern public administration and includes features of good governance. Also, moderation discourse management is closer to modern public administration and includes features of traditional public administration.

current research is to critically analyze the discourse of world peace in the textbooks of the Iranian educational system based on the theory of identification by L& M. For this purpose, the textbooks between the years 1357-1392 (primary period and first period high school) have been analyzed. This article has been done with the combined method of analyzing the discourse of Fairclough, L &M and focusing on the following questions: What was the status of the world peace discourse in the educational documents of this era? What subjects are these educational materials trying to create? What role have the dominant political discourses in this era played in shaping the identity of these subjects? The findings show that the discourse of world peace in educational books and documents has been rejected due to the demarcation between Islamic and non-Islamic, internal and external. Power processes have tried to create militant and vengeful subjects with a military identity. The factor of persuasion of the subjects is the axiomatization of the ideologies of the revolution with an Islamic nature. Also, the educational content by inducing specific defense ideologies has formed pacifist identities in all individual, interpersonal, social and international dimensions.

This article compares the media diplomacy of the Iranian and US foreign ministers during the Vienna Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty on Twitter. Among social media, Twitter has been able to attract and be used by politicians the most.

Twitter's social media, evaluate and finally compare.The results of this study show that Javad Zarif and John Kerry both produce content on Twitter, but Kerry uses the tools of this space more accurately and more, the literature of these two people on Twitter and their approach to content production are different. Zarif started his tweets with a retweet from the account of Ayatollah Khamenei and John Kerry with a tweet in which the first person pronoun was used.

Security is one of the chef human needs and a requirement of many desires and a foundation for human growth. Cultural security is considered one of the types of security, and since culture refers to knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, social customs, etc. in a society and is among the factors that bind people in a society, it is considered that cultural security deserves attention. The issue of culture and cultural security has been one of the main concerns of the Supreme Leader, therefore in this research, we have analyzed the challenges and solutions of realizing cultural security in the country by analyzing the Supereme Leader's speech. He introduces the threats to cultural security as "de-Islamization and destruction of national identity", "emptying the revolution from within", "corrupting the youth and spread of the Western culture corruption", and "inefficiency of some managers". On the other hand, by presenting solutions to ensure security in the area of culture, he considers "promoting religious culture", "having the authority and making the country strong in the cultural area", and "presenting the Iranian-Islamic lifestyle".

The present article tries to examine the representation of disability in the movie “Chrysanthemums Flowers” with the discourse approach of Laclau and Mouffe. Due to the fact that identity is developed via social interactions of the individual with others in the process of socialization, and since people with disabilities often find a ruined identity within society, this research’s approach to disability is influenced by Goffman's theory of social stigma, which is defined a socially constructed phenomenon as disability. The post-structuralist discourse analysis approach of Lacla and Mouffe has been applied as the research method. According to the findings, the dominant discourse in the film "Chrysanthemum Flowers" is the lack of limitations of the disabled person, which is articulated around the signifiers of acceptance, education, fatalism, agency, independence, and a positive image of the body. Along with this dominant discourse, a sub-discourse of empowerment has also been shaped. The film, centered on the main hub of agency and support, has marginalized passivity and social exclusion and has led to the dominance of the social model of disability

Mirza Ali Khan Zahir al-Doulah, with the support of his political position in the Qajar court and his belief base in the Safi Alishahi Tariqat, and by creating intellectual and freedom-loving organizations, is considered one of the influential figures in the course of constitutionalism. The current research, using Farklaf's discourse analysis approach, seeks to answer the following questions: How is the discourse order of Qajar era Iran reproduced in Zahir al-Doulah's poems? Discourse actions of his poems reflect which of the social actions? And what is Zahir al-Doulah's solution to get out of the ruling discourses? The results showed that the social structure of the Qajar period was reflected in the discourse functions of Zahir al-Dawlah by choosing names based on expressive values, and the participants were categorized into two groups: 1- "Positive" group including God, religious and mystic elders, and positive personalities; 2- "Negative" group including oppressive rulers, tyrannical powerful, ignorant and oppressive classes of society. Zahir al-Douleh, by empathizing with the people, from the position of a critic, has created a discourse confrontation and believes that the way to get rid of the ruling discourse is everyone's movement towards anti-oppression and awareness.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the linguistics aspects of the speech of the pilgrims of Imam Reza’s (AS) Holy Shrine.  Therefore, the discourse of pilgrimage in the Holy Shrine is examined from two verbal and non-verbal dimensions. The data of this research has been collected by observation method   and interviews with 20 Iranian Shia or Sunni pilgrims between the ages of 20 and 60 who visited Imam Reza’s Holy Shrine in the summer of 1400. The sampling method was targeted and available. In this research, first the verbal data were analyzed and then the relationship between the non-verbal gestures of the head, including eyebrow, eye and lip movements, as well as hand and foot movements, with the amount of pilgrims’ emotions was investigated. The results of this research show that in the theological dimension, the motivations for visiting the shrine are both material and spiritual, but the spiritual and spiritual motivations, especially obtaining peace of mind, reward and intercession, are more important and evident. In addition to the sensory and spiritual atmosphere, the pilgrims’ sense of peace and security is involved in the Holy Shrine. Among pilgrims’ non-verbal behaviors, hand gestures have the largest contribution in explaining emotional perception. In other words, pilgrims use non-verbal hand gestures to express their inner feelings and emotions more than other organs. In fact, pilgrims speak with their hand movements. This means that they convey different messages with their different hand movements or establish a more effective communication by using their hands.

"Apostrophe" (Iltifāt) means grammatical altering between the use of first, second, and third person in a sentence or consecutive sentences. It aims at examining the coherence in the Holy Quran. Speech act theory is one of the important topics in pragmatics. It conveys that a conversation includes many acts such as description, declaration, command, prohibition, prayer, wish, etc. Considering a text as an act enables religious texts experts to change the nature of the texts more systematically. John Searle is one of the theorists of this area. He has classified speech acts into representatives, directives, commissives, expressive, and declarations. In this study, based on his theory, as a linguistic discourse analysis, and by using a descriptive-analytical method, the text and context of Iltifāt verses in the Holy Quran have been examined, and the type of their acts were identified. According to the results, regarding Searle's five speech acts, in these verses, the representative and commissive acts have been used more and less than other types, respectively. Also, the verbs used in each of these speech acts are as follows: describing, emphasizing, reporting, criticizing, and granting in the representative act, offering, making a condition, asking for explanation, protestingly asking, etc. in the directive act, giving and making a pledge, and swearing in the commissive act, praising, thanking, threatening, wishing, etc. in the expressive act, and terminating and judging in the declaration act.

Discourse analysis often employs the theory of speech acts, a cornerstone of pragmatics that explores language's role in social interaction and offers a potent method for dissecting literary texts. John Searle, building upon the philosophical foundations laid by his mentor Austin, concentrated on language's philosophical dimensions and classified speech acts into five categories: assertives, expressives, directives, commissives, and declarations. This study scrutinizes Imam Ali's letter to Malik al-Ashtar using Searle's speech act theory. Findings suggest that directive acts are most prevalent in Imam Ali's political discourse, with commands and persuasions being used to engage Malik al-Ashtar's attention and to steer him toward the letter's content and Imam Ali's viewpoints. Imam Ali adeptly employed these directive acts to maintain his audience's engagement. Assertive acts, used for clarification and exposition, are also prominent in his letters. Imam Ali relied on these to recount past events or to issue warnings, as his primary objective in writing was to enlighten and inform Malik al-Ashtar. Expressive acts, which convey the writer's sentiments, perspectives, and reflections on occurrences, are less frequent in Imam Ali's correspondence and are fitting given the letters' context. Commissive acts are similarly scarce, as Imam Ali did not outline future actions for Malik, and the letters lack a commissive character. Furthermore, Imam Ali utilized declarative acts to proclaim new conditions for Malik, employing verbs such as appointing, announcing, and revoking, which are characteristic of declarative speech acts that announce changes in the world.

Among the important concepts in the political and social literature of societies is the concept of war. Re-reading the key opinions that influence the general policies of the society can lead to a more complete definition of the desired phenomenon and explain the political and social outlook of the societies more accurately. In this article, by dealing with the concept of war in the discourse of the revolution with a descriptive analytical method and based on Farklough's three-level model, it was determined that the occurrence of the Islamic Revolution led to the redefinition of new conceptual and value structures and changed some semantic fields in the global relations of power. gave The centrality of the new system and structure that was established in Iran is the formation of a religious government. This caused fundamental changes, including the emergence of an ideological competitor at the level of global power relations. With the emergence of such conditions, socio-political systems and power structures are redefined and take on a new form. In order to maintain the status quo and consolidate power, the existing powers that do not accept the new discourse rise up against it and in this way try various forms of exercising power. In this course, the historical development of the method of conflict and confrontation in the power structure leads from hard and military war to cultural invasion, cultural bloodshed, cultural looting, cultural massacre, cultural NATO, cultural soft war, which at the present time is faced with a variety of methods of exercising power. which ultimately leads to a combined war method. Alienation, hostility and authority are among the central signs of the discourse of war, and the concepts of defense, jihad, struggle, insight and resistance are the concepts involved in completing this discourse network.
