Abstract

Theory of critical discourse analysis. Critical discourse analysis is an interdisciplinary approach that considers language, society, ideology, and power as its primary components. Van Dijke is one of the theorists of critical discourse analysis who, by proposing his ideological square, seeks to explain how ideology affects socio-cognitive texts. Considering the mutual influence of society and literature, the author attempts to examine Anvari's ode "Letter from the People of Khorasan" - which is a complaint from the people of Khorasan to the ruler of Samarqand - using a descriptive-analytical method based on the text of the ode and answering the question: which of Van Dijk's four critical discourse analysis strategies does Anvari use in this ode to emphasize other's negative characteristics and to strengthen self's positive characteristics? It is determined that Anvari, without referring to the negative characteristics of self and the positive attributes of non-self/others, with lexical, syntactic, and rhetorical schemes to magnify other negative characteristics and positive characteristics. He tries to convince the audience through the power of controlling their mind to achieve their goal, which is based on the ideology of justice and anti-tyranny.
