Abstract

Understanding the ideologies and the world-views of the author is the goal of the critical analysis of the discourse of texts, which is achieved through the analysis of verbal organizations beyond a sentence. Critical discourse analysis has various approaches, one of the most famous and practical of which is Fairclough's approach. In this research we have examined lullabies based on Fairclough's approach of critical discourse analysis. In the level of lullaby descriptions, discoursive structures and linguistic applications with ideological meanings were studied; in the level of interpretation, we conducted analysis of intertexuality and situational contexts including religious, geohistorical and sociocultural situations and the level of lullaby explanations includes analysis of the relationship of power with the two sexes and its unequal distribution and critically analyzing the effect of ideological hegemony on women's thoughts. The result of the research shows that the dominant thinking in the society is misogynistic. Therefore, women regard the female sex with a masculine manner and do not consider an identity for themselves without the masculine identity. Yet, women's level of awareness and their social activities in the new era have caused us to witness no more of such ideologies in the discourse of the new lullabies from the new mothers. Women are also more aware of their rights, abilities, and social status than before.
