Linguistic analysis is part of discourse analysis methods to identify linguistic features that are described at the micro level. The purpose of the present study is to decode the formal and linguistic characteristics of mythological discourse of Ferdowsi's Shahnameh based on Faircloug’s theoretical framework. According to linguistic studies, the organization of vocabulary in the interaction with the speaker's knowledge is presented in three intermittent periods: the role of language on the structure of the discourse-producing worldview of ideology and the role of the first man, the expressive values of vocabulary, and the social relations of the identities of the text, and the coherent design to the formation of discourse and stories. On the basis of lexical variables, the third period is in the highest number of types of semantic relations in the center of the repetition of the ideological mythology. The grammatical features in the tables show the role of the thinkers, the interlocutors, and the expression of language in the selection of the names of characters and the formation of the epic genre of discourse. The qoutying styles of indirect quotation in reporting information shows the source of the speaker's authority and the social constructivism of the text in interacting with the racial basis. Also, pronoun references are the most coherent factor in linguistic transcription in the production of statements with the reference of old identities (known).
