Representation inter-clause combination
Cons with Iran
By the table above, there are two main clauses which is shaped in different perspective. In the first clause,
“one of the officials” refers to the U.S. administration. The journalist shows the
“one of the officials” as the sayer without tells who that one is. The sayer says that
“the deal is designed to delay the point at which Iran could develop a nuclear weapon while providing
temporary, reversible sanctions relief ”. The clause presents that the journalist
shows the U.S. officials is pro with the negotiation. The second clause presents the opposite statement from French Prime
Minister, Laurent Fabius. In the clause, the journalist shows Fabius as the Sayers
who is the one of the P5+1 power. Fabius as the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Development in France, criticizes the agreement is like a fools
game because it is unsatisfactory deal. The clause is showed by the journalist
French that one of P5+1 country protests with the negotiation. By positioning the U.S. officials and French’s argumentation, the journalist
shows the contradiction between the U.S. administration officials which support the negotiation and the French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius. The sentence
presents that the one of official of the U.S. administration says the deal is designed to delay the point at which Iran could develop a nuclear weapon while
providing temporary, reversible sanctions relief, but for France the deal is not a convenient one, Paris would refuse the deal because there is any certainty that
French can conclude of it. However, both of the U.S. officials and French’s
statement are in contra with Iran which refuses the deal although the proposal is mostly drafted by U.S. and Iran. It proves that the journalist presents the negative
perspective on Iran both of the U.S. officials and French’s arguments.
