This implies that the st udy of political journalistic translations cannot be isolated from the stu dy of the institutional and socio-political factors that may influence new s production processes. The aim of this paper is to propose a method of te xtual analysis for describing political journalistic translations in terms of their relationships with dominant political norms and ideologies in th e target society. This relationship means that\, depending on the ideologi cal independence of news institutions\, dominant political norms and ideol ogies may influence the production of political journalistic translations. Also\, political journalistic translations can contribute to or challenge the social legitimacy of dominant political norms and ideologies. To exam ine this relationship at an empirical level\, we use the model of politica l discourse analysis (Chilton and Schäffner 2011) and the method of analy zing translation shifts (Gagnon 2009\; Chesterman 1997). Political discour se analysis (PDA) is an appropriate analytical tool for reconstructing pol itical norms and ideologies from discourses of leading politicians. PDA al so enables analyzing source and target news discourses to investigate whet her and how they contribute to a social ‘legitimization’ or ‘delegit imization’ of specific political norms and ideologies. The relevance of the method of translation shifts analysis is that it allows for a translat ion-oriented description of how particular strategic functions of source a nd target news discourses (e.g. legitimization) are enacted by means of sp ecific linguistic elements. The corpus\, in this research\, consists of 12 6 Persian political news pieces released by ISNA (an Iranian news agency) and their English translations by BBC. The method of textual analysis\, pr oposed in this study\, allows us to describe the impact of our sample poli tical journalistic translations on the social legitimacy of dominant polit ical norms and ideologies. It also allows us to hypothesize whether specif ic political norms and ideologies have been influential in the process of producing the political journalistic translations.
