The key research question of this study is to determine the most prevalent trends in Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and how to apply them in Iranian research context. Therefore, this study makes a major contribution to research on modern CDA trends by demonstrating the newest research approaches in this area. The significance of this study is most remarkable bearing in mind that the scope of CDA studies is mainly restricted to a limited number of approaches and models, ignoring the modern interdisciplinary ones. The findings of this study represent Multimodal Discourse Analysis (MDA), Positive Discourse Analysis and Cognitive Discourse Analysis as the most flourishing trends within CDA framework and introduce a broader perspective in CDA studies to Iranian researchers. The findings can extend the realm of research in (Critical) Discourse studies in Iran.
