Abstract

Discourse has a social nature, and this is important in journalistic writings. The present article examines and analyzes the structures and components of discourse and rhetorical aspects in the writings of Siddiqa Daulatabadi included in the Women's Language magazine (1298) in order to show the worldview, social intentions, the relationship between the text and the discourse of power through language. Sometimes it is done directly and sometimes implicitly. Journalism in Iran during the constitutional era succeeded in providing the path of awareness and modernity in the tyrannical society of Iran by taking advantage of the many possibilities of language. A wide range of Daulatabadi's writings are related to women's issues, focusing on the establishment of elementary schools for girls, the demand for women's social rights, and political criticism. His articles in this publication can be examined due to its historical importance in the presentation of these materials in the constitutional period and after. Daulatabadi created a new discourse in the social history of women with a belligerent and critical discourse and calling women to social action. This advantage is due to a pen that has benefited from the intellectual and literary (rhetorical) possibilities of the material. Dilatation's revolutionary discourse in the last years of the publication of the publication was placed in a discursive rotation in the direction of confirming the discourse of power. This discourse is expressed at the linguistic and rhetorical level with complete and short sentences, sometimes questions and emphasis on rewriting.
