Abstract
Text linguistics attends to texts and their properties. Various approaches have been put forth to explore the organization of texts and the way they are produced and comprehended. One of which is Michael Hoey’s problem-solution approach (2001). This model consists of four components including situation, problem, recycling, response and evaluation. In this approach, texts are rewritten in the form of conversations, questions and answers. We attempt to answer these questions: in what extend we can generalize this pattern to newspaper articles and by using the problem solution pattern, how we can achieve a degree of anticipation, predictiveness and quicker comprehension of narrative texts as hypotheses. To fulfill the objectives, benefiting from the problem-solution pattern (2001), 20 articles from four newspapers including E’temade and Aftabe yazd, were analyzed based on this pattern. In conclusion, the analysis revealed how newspaper articles of these groups using PS pattern. Therefore, the first hypothesis was confirmed and the relationship between components of problem-solution pattern was shortly displayed by diagrams in each article. Texts were analyzed on the bases of socio-cultural and discursive structures and also rewritten in conversations. Furthermore from data analysis via a t- test calculation, it became clear that the comprehension, anticipation, predictiveness of reader enhanced on the basis of this pattern. Consequently the second hypothesis of the current study has been confirmed.
