Abstract
Discourse, as an efficient linguistic process, is one of the most widely used tools used by the domination system to achieve social-political goals, whether in the form of speech or writing. Critical discourse analysis is a systematic approach to study how to use this process. Hodge and Kress are among the linguists who, relying on this principle, presented a linguistic and methodical model, consisting of four components: naming, nominalization, unknown vs. known, and action sentences vs. documents. Are   This research is descriptive-analytical with the aim of explaining the ideological orientations governing the text in the novel The Second Dog War It has investigated the process of discourse structures based on this theory. The result of the research indicates that the author has explained his ideologies in the face of the domination system, the capitalist rule and the socio-political conditions of Palestine with the use of language and discourse orientations in the linguistic context of the novel. The new form of dealing with the issues of Palestine and the discourse structure of the mentioned novel depicts a society that, in the pleasurable and lustful encounter with the dreams of modernity, still places its value and freedom in the occupation of aliens, and finally, with the spread of human simulation, it leads the world to the abyss of destruction. The destruction of the ideal city of these social activists is the result of their destructive speech, which is manifested in small behaviors and small speeches, and is considered one of the effects of linguistic functions on literary texts
