Since a newspaper title depicts a general picture of an event and its relative significance and categorization and accordingly creates an insight for the readers, most people get a glimpse at the latest tittles in newspapers and magazines. In most cases, linguistic intuition and awareness of literal meaning of words in sentences and phrases helps us to comprehend the specific Language used in the related sport. The methodology in this research is of a descriptive-analytical identity. The titles in the Tehran derbies between Persepolis and Esteghlal have been selected methodically and are analyzed based on Van Leeuwen social Actor network table. The main questions raised in this study include how the writers have selected the titles based on Linguistic approaches and what social, cultural and ideological factors lie beneath them. The findings show that titles feature covertness in a Language according to semantic components such as exclusion, inclusion and their subcategories and reflect sociological and ideological characteristics.
