    abstract = {Present study, pays to the different representations of the United States, in specific periods of time,
before and after beginning the last round of nuclear talks between Islamic Republic of Iran and 5+1 group,
especially America’s related texts, in Iranian Persian publications as representatives of the two opposite
discourses, from the perspective of the critical discourse analysis approach by using socio-semantic features
of Van Leeuwen’s Model in 2008. To do so, a selection of discursive texts of the two Iranian Persian
publications belonging to two competitor groups: Etemad as the representative of reformists and Keyhan, the
fundamentalists’ representative, have been analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The result indicated
although the representation type is highly related to the ideology dominating the minds of the writers of the
two political groups reflected in the texts, yet all statistical analysis of the corpus shows that the
representations has been changed from a hostile to an amicable style by the initiation of the last round of
nuclear talks and it has been perceived that the ideology dominating on the minds of the writers belonging to
two competitor political wings, has been reflected in the texts by using discursive socio-semantic features like
activation, backgrounding, personalization, personalization, differentiation and in differentiation, etc. This
study’s finding also states that socio-semantic features are determined by different ideologies, related to power
relations and different representations can be explored, described and clarified through the kinds of features
applied in the press texts.}
