Critical discourse analysis of Jihad Al-Rajbi's novel "Len Amut Sedi" based on the approach of "Norman Fairclough

Abstract

Critical discourse analysis is an important branch and approach of discourse analysis theory. As an interdisciplinary trend, this approach goes beyond the level of sentences and words in examining texts and pays attention to the context of the situation in which the text was formed. Norman Fairclough is one of the theorists of this field, Whose theory has three levels of description, interpretation and explanation. This research tries to analyze the three Farklaf's critical discourse levels using the descriptive-analytical approach during the time of Lan Amut Sadi Jihad al-Rajbi to explain the author's ideology and speech. The research.s conclusions indicate that Jihad al-Rajbi has been able to present his point of view by using the function of words and semantic relations between them, the use of different metaphors of news and positive verbs and the function of plural pronouns. Also, by using intertextuality and invocation in Quranic texts and Islamic themes, he seeks to explain the situation governing Palestine. MR. Al-Rajbi expresses issues such as libertarianism, oppression and tyranny with a rhetorical discourse, and by strengthening the spirit of struggle, he seeks to acquire his own ideology and concepts such as gaining identity, freedom and fighting against the occupiers
