Persuasive process is an important and open topic in discourse sign-Semiotics. The article tries to analyze type and frequency of persuasive factors in narrative discourses of Azerbaijan Folklore Narratives based on sign-Semioticsapproach and inductive method. The selected narratives are Mahi Siyahe Koochooloo (The Little Red Fish), Kachal Mam Siyah (The Bald Mamsiah), Koroghloo, 24 saat khab o bidari (24 Hours of Sleep and Wake), and Yek Holoo Hezar Holoo (One Peach, One Thousand Peaches) narratives. In these narratives persuasive factors like reasoning, planning, building trust, caution, promise, etc. are used considering the situation and the addressee. From 145 persuasive processes and 24 types of persuasive factors, caution, threat, incitement, reasoning, promise, and rodomontade have the highest frequencies. 1/4 of persuasive factors belong to caution and threat but the rate of success in these two factors is not the same. Bribery, hesitation, compliment, flattery, curse, emphasis and playing to be oppressed were just in one case. The analysis showed that the exhort and frightening of doing outcomes is the dominant style in Azerbaijan Folklore Narratives. There is the highest percentage of persuasion failure in Mahi Siyahe Koochooloo narrative because of the insistence of the doer on the realization of his goal. There is the highest level of persuasion success in Kachal Mam Siyah and Koroghloo because of the power relationship.

This study attempts to analyze the report of a sport reporter in two important historical periods through a sociolinguistic and discursive approach. The research aims to examine the impact of the socio-political environment on the narrating of sport reports to reveal the extent of the impact of a sport narration on the national identity construction. The research method is descriptive-analytical and research data are derived from the reports of the two games of the World Cup Iran-Australia (1998) and Iran-Spain (2018). The instances are the reporter's statements during the emotional moments of the game analyzed in three parts: "social actors", "actions", and "reactions". Then by applying identity-based approach by Van Leeuwen (1996), the quality and quantity of individual and national identity have been studied. In this research, the human variable-reporter was considered as a constant variable and social-political constraint of two different periods was considered as a dependent variable. The results indicate that under the influence of socio-political conditions, the discursive approach of a sport report shifted from highlighting the individual identities to highlighting the national identity. It was also shown that by using classification and relational categorization instead of nomination and individual mythology, individual identities can be marginalized in the favor of national identity being strengthened.
