Read More The Iranian time and the Persian language concepts have been condensed and accumulated by the plurality and accelerated events of the last century. The semantic chaos is manifested in a lexical field of a concept and competition of the synonymous words. “Ranjbar”, “Mostaz’af”, “Zahmatkesh”, “Tohidast”, and “Gheshr-e Asibpazir” can be considered as belonging to the lexical field of “Forudastan” (the subalterns) and questions can be raised of what are the reasons for their emergence and how they have become keywords in the events and periods of contemporary history in a particular stage; what are the relations of power and ideology hidden behind the productive and preaching discourses of these words; what kind of intertextuality is there; how each word has become hegemonic; what meanings they have and what semantic fields they have gone through over time, and under what conditions these fluctuations and peaks and declines have been possible. In this study, which has both historical and linguistic aspects, first of all, the research method and model, itself, becomes a problem that make us to ask which historical and linguistic approaches can help the researcher to find more accurate answers to these questions. As such, the present theoretical research proposes a combined model of linguistics and history in which Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis is centralized and two other approaches from the fields of history and semantics, namely conceptual history by Reinhart Koselleck and lexical field by Jost Trier, are applied to provide an analytical model that works for both historians with linguistic concerns and for linguists who think historically.
