Abstract
Linguistic processes are always involved in creating a kind of narrative of the world in order to create discourse categories with views based on worldview. Linguistic processes of confrontation and synonymy play an important and effective role in shaping the worldview of texts. Leslie Jeffries (2010) is one of the few linguistics researchers who has drawn a model for gaining insight into the potential worldview impact of texts by recognizing textual contrasts and synonyms and how to regulate this textual phenomenon alongside the more established tools of critical discourse analysis. The types of negative, transitive, superlative, displacement, privileged, explicit, parallel, and comparison contrasts, as well as relational, expressive, and metaphorical synonyms are the components suggested by Jeffries in order to discover the hidden ideology of the text. This research has been done with the method of critical stylistics and with the aim of explaining the contradictions and ideological synonyms in the speeches of the Secretary General of Hezbollah of Lebanon, Seyed Hassan Nasrallah, which was made on the occasion of the Al-Aqsa storm operation, based on the point of view of Leslie Jeffries. The result of the research indicates that the examination of conceptual relationships in the textual structure of contrasts and synonyms of Nasrallah's words is aimed at presenting worldview categories.

. Also, synonyms seek to shape the common worldview of the society in the fight against the occupying regime.

The estimation of the weak presence of metaphorical confrontations is indicative of the frankness of the speech in order to quickly receive the audience from the lower layers of the text and the active presence of negative confrontations in the wake of negating or marginalizing the legitimacy of the Zionist system in the minds of the world community.
