This article is based on academic research entitled "The Representation of Women in Gender Jokes" which aims to examine the representation of women in jokes. In this study, due to the subject's qualitative aspects, discourse analysis has been used. For this purpose, twenty gender jokes were selected out of more than a hundred cases and analyzed using the three-dimensional model of Norman Fairclough. The results showed that representation of women and girls in gender jokes is negative and ignoble compared to men and even boys. In these jokes, the representations of women are different to girls. Representation of women is affected by the stereotypes, traditional and patriarchal beliefs and partially media stereotypes. On the other hand, the representation of girls was largely influenced by media stereotypes. Also, the results reveal that the gender jokes have emerged from the patriarchy discourse and at the end lead to confirmation and reinforcement of this discourse.

In this paper, we aim to answer the question of how “divorce” is represented in Iranian movies produced during 1980s. The questions raised in the framework of representation theory. To answer the key question, 21 films which has been made in the decade of 1380, were studied through content analysis method. Thus, reverse questionnaire was prepared and films were analyzed basing on content analysis.
Findings show that Iranian movies present kind of popular knowledge about social problems such as divorce in their narrations. The findings also show this assumption that Iranian films have basic information such as age and sex composition, social class, employment status information of divorced actor and actress and various information about their social and family relationships, attitudes and lifestyles. In addition, manufacturers often provide explanation of the divorce of their characters in their movies.

The study of shop signs is a research domain in the field of sociolinguistics, and scholars try to address the topic from different perspectives in order to provide a deeper insight to the language in use. The present study attempts to analyze the diverse linguistic patterns in Tabriz shop signs. First three areas, i.e. area A (affluent), area B (semi-affluent), and area C (poor) were located, and from each area, 300 names were collected. The findings indicate that from 900 shop signs, 78.3 percent use monolingual Persian names, and Turkish with just 6 percent of usage, works as a minor language in the naming process. The comparison of the three different areas, show that there is a relationship between the economic, social welfare and the use of varying linguistic patterns. It is also shown that in some businesses like clothing shops as well as restaurants, employing diverse linguistic patterns is a popular method to absorb higher number of customers. At the end of the article, the results of the present study are compared with the findings of other Iranian and non-Iranian contributions.

The main question in this research is whether changes in modern style of leisure (based on ICT) are related with Youth’s social capital? In this paper, we have focused on types of leisure styles, especially types of leisure’s Xu Qing. The research survey was conducted among 384 young people aged 15 to 29 years who were living in the district 5 of Tehran. The findings showed that using ICT tools to complete leisure, extends the social capital of young people in two dimensions, objective (membership and participation in groups, organizations, socialize and communications people) and a subjective dimension (trust people together in virtual spaces and confidence in cyberspace). On the other hand, the data show that if people use ICT tools in social activity while their leisure time, increases their social capital then when they use these tools on anti-social activities such as learning activities and so on.
