This study employs Critical Discourse Analysis to explore the evolution of Saudi print media discourse on the U.S. between September 11, 2001 and December 30, 2013. In particular, the study investigates how ideological stances and attitudes toward the U.S. during this period are manifested in the discourse of Saudi authors in two newspapers, Al-Jazirah and Asharq Alawsat, and how shifts in the ideological stances are realized discursively. In order to achieve this, the study adopts van Dijk's sociocognitive approach to critical discourse analysis. The study follows a two-dimensional approach that entails identifying the textual features of the text in one dimension, and draws links between these features and their wider historical, sociocultural and political contexts in the other dimension.
