The Expression Style of Shams-e Tabrizi with Critical Discourse Analysis Approach

This article investigates The Expression Style of Shams-e Tabrizi with a Critical Discourse Analysis Approach. It contains an explanation of the concept of power and its relation with ideology as one of the main elements of the Critical discourse theory. This article demonstrates the unique place and potential of Shams based on his threatening and protecting reputation action against the theosophical (murshid, murad, and so forth) and social (the ordinary people, philosophers, authorities, and so on) classes. As to threatening courses of action, Shams, with various ways of expression, dashingly puts himself in high regard and the audience in the accepting position of his ability. Regarding protecting manners, his high frequency serves his and, on a lower level, Rumi's reputations. We used the library research method with a descriptive-analytical perspective. The results confirm Shams's powerful status through the lens of ideological terms.
