Abstract

Critical discourse analysis is an interdisciplinary approach that studies ideologies and how language is used, thereby increasing the reader's awareness of the author's attitude and worldview. Theorists of this approach believe that the smallest sign in a text or discourse can help to understand society, history, politics, culture, and ethics in any era. Discourse analysis emerged following extensive scientific developments in disciplines such as anthropology, microsociology, cognitive and social psychology, linguistics, semiotics, and other social sciences and humanities fields interested in systematic studies of the structure, function, and process of producing speech and writing. Adherents of this approach analyze the discourse of texts in different ways. One of the experts in critical discourse analysis is Teun Adrianus van Dijk (1943), who has an important theory about ideology and tries to reveal the ideology of individuals and literary works through critical discourse analysis. Anvari's ode "Letter from Khorasanis" (Name-ye Ahl-e Khorasan), which was composed to complain about the oppressions of Ghozan and request justice from the ruler of Samarkand, is among the literary texts that can be examined according to Van Dijk's model, due to its social content and the representation of the poet's worldview and thoughts about the incident that occurred.
