Linguistics The ideology and worldviews of a community can be subject to shifts and modifications through social changes brought about by political upheavals. In a country like Iran, the Islamic Revolution (1979/80) has played a major role in re-shaping the ideology of the governing body which among many other things involves modifications in the language policy.
