A STUDY ON IDEOLOGICAL ELEMENTS OF GORGE ORWELL’S 1984 AND ITS TWO PERSIAN TRANSLATION VERSIONS: WITH A CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS APPROACH

Translation as a phenomenon has been investigated from different viewpoints by scholars with various backgrounds. This research aimed at investigating the ideological effects of the process of translation and its consequences on the representation of cultures and ideologies. In pursuing this goal, Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) was found to be an appropriate tool. The theoretical structure of this research was based on Fairclough’s framework (1989, 1995) which was employed by Farahzad in Translation Criticism (2007). The corpus used for analysis in this research was considered of two parts of a book and its corresponding Persian translations; 1984 by Gorge Orwell (1949) and Mehdi Bahremand (1389) Jami Pub., and Saleh Hosseini (1390) Arman Shahr Pub.
