چکیده:
Critical Discourse Analysis is the method used in newspaper analysis, which gives interpretations of textual meaning situating the text in the context of its use (Richardson, 2007). Every content in the newspapers is a matter of choice, which reveals the ideology underlying the news (Bhatia, 2006; Lu, 2002; Morley,2008). In this study a qualitative analysis of the collocations used in the two newspapers online (New York Times and Washington Post) is conducted. The corpora in this study help to identify the ideologies hidden in the media in the United States with regard to Iran, considering the recurrent patterns existing in the texts. From these two newspapers, twenty excerpts are chosen which are nearly on the same topic (about the nuclear energy in Iran and the oppositions after the elections). The results of the collocation analysis of the texts revealed the concerns of the two newspapers and the hidden ideologies they bear.

"Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), newspaper discourse, collocation Introduction Critical Language Study (CLS) "analyses social interactions in a way which focuses upon their linguistic elements, and which sets out to show up their generally hidden determinants in the system of social relationships, as well as hidden effects they may have upon that system" (Fairclough, 2001).
The present study aims at comparing two newspapers in the United States (NYTimes and Washington Post) which are claimed by some to be from two different parties using a corpus-based approach to critical discourse analysis to uncover their underlying ideologies with regard to Iran.
Corpus The corpora in this study help to identify the hidden ideologies, if any, in the media in the United States with regard to Iran, considering the recurrent patterns existing in the chosen texts in the news excerpts found in the two newspapers.
