Abstract

Regardless of the clear meaning of the words, the words also convey the implicit meaning behind them to the audience. Undoubtedly, vocabulary is one of the places where the ideology of media owners is hidden, this is one of the most important reasons why the media is very sensitive in choosing words to write news texts so that they can indirectly target the ideology. In this research, we tried to determine how those in power use words cleverly and purposefully to induce their own attitude in the media, a topic that was selected for research and analysis. The issue is Iran's attack on US military bases in Iraq after the assassination of “Sardar Soleimani”. Researchers examined the meaningful use of words on four news channels: Al- Arabiya, Al-Jazeera, Al-Maydeen, and Al-Alam, based on a critical discourse analysis from Van Dijks point of view. For this purpose, the news of these networks on this topic was collected and after purposeful selection, forty news texts that had the most relevance to the research topic were analyzed. The results show that the media used different terms to describe this base bombed by Iranian missiles. Including: Ain Al-Assad base in Iraq, American base Ain al-Assad and International coalition bases and US capital. A closer look at the meaning behind these words shows that these four words create four different meanings in the mind of the audience
