discourse system

One of the fields that scholars and experts in literary studies pay attention to today is the semiotics-semantics of ancient literary texts based on discourse analysis. Ferdowsi's Shahnameh is a precious work whose greatness and scope, analysis and interpretation of its texts from various dimensions make it necessary for the richness of Persian literature. Considering the importance of Ferdowsi Shahnameh and new approaches to the analysis of literary texts, the purpose of this article is to analyze the sign-semantics of discourse in Ferdowsi Shahnameh. According to the requirements of an article and in order to study in depth in this field, two epic tragic stories from this book, namely "The Story of Rostam and Sohrab" and "The Story of Rostam and Esfandiar" have been selected as the study sample. The research method is descriptive-analytical and based on Norman Fairclough critical discourse analysis. The results show that in the discourse of both stories, Rostam is at the center of thought as an invincible Iranian hero; And what is of irreplaceable value for Rostam is the preservation of Iran's privacy and individual freedom. In both narrations, despite the predominance of negative results, the narration is such that Rostam's authority is maintained in two dimensions of homeland freedom and individual freedom. Therefore, the signs indicate Rostam's heroism and the discourse is based on the pillar of freedom (individual, social).

path of meaning production until its reception by the audience becomes doubly important. One of these areas of meaning creation that causes the formation of narratives is the discourse systems that include both the action elements that form the cognitive system and the emotional elements that form the emotional system. . In this research, using the analytical-descriptive method and based on Grimas' study model, we have investigated the semiotic-semantic components in the short story of Owner of two gardens in Surah Kahf. Due to the nature of the narrative discourse, this story includes actions and actions, where the main actor of the story, the owner of two gardens, is acting contrary to Maad's plan, and his material power is considered the main driver of his actions. Satan accompanies the actor as an accomplice. Despite being short, this story reaches the stages of preparation and then to the stage of the main test and finally to the test of shamelessness in the story. The dominant discourse in the story is intelligent and the process of value formation is in a way that makes the discourse condemn the morality of arrogance and its main role in creating the thinking and logic of disbelief. The emotional-emotional process of the discourse, in shaping the semantic structure of the narrative, especially in its external sensory-perceptual perceptions (cognitive phenomenon) and its psychological internals, has a tangible impact on the meaning-making process.

The purpose of the semiotics of discourse approach is to achieve meaning through communicating between semantic and differentiating units at the macro level. This article examines how meaning produced and received in "Wuthering Heights". Discourse systems are either action-based or state-based, respectively, which are the generators of cognitive and emotional discourse systems, respectively. In this novel, the dominant discourse system is cognitive because the action is more sensible than state. Heathcliff and Catherine (two main characters) create the dominant love state and the main revenge action. Heathcliff, the main actant, gains the necessary mental, physical and financial competences and performs the action with a predetermined program. The actant reaches the evaluation and value stage by going through the qualifying, main and glorifying test. The value presented to these two characters is not financial, but a transcendent value in the name of love. Although, there are other discourse systems in the novel; emotional discourse system, different emotional states appear in several stages of the novel and Incidental discourse system: the presence of opposing systems such as birth and death is justified with no discourse except Incidental discourse system.

In the last ten years, the local/global debate about the role and value of English as a foreign language has become more acute. The models proposed by applied linguistic research (e.g., Byram 1997, Kramsch 2010) and mentioned by Kramsch (2013) in this journal for the development of intercultural or transcultural competence have served to improve the communicative ability of learners of English but have they improved their ability to understand Self and Other across cultural boundaries? Because “culture” has become more nebulous than ever in this increasingly global world, this paper explores the benefits of using an interdiscourse approach rather than an intercultural approach to teaching communicative competence in English. It discusses the possibility of teaching learners of English how to enter into dialogue with several discourse systems (Scollon et al 2012) while remaining faithful to one’s own cultural heritage.

In this expressive – analytic essay Akhavan Sales`s poem titled (Veda) has been explored and analyzed using sensational semiotics. In Akhavan`s poems a sense of bitterness and disparate emotions is prevalent. This poem is a narration of interaction between two subjects in a stressful atmosphere, the narrator has an active value, but his unintentional induced stress transforms him into an inactive subject, thus somatic body is revealed in weeping form. The emotional discourse presented in this poem indicates a simultaneous decrease in the extent of cognitive and stressful emotion and shows a state of connective discourse and due to pursuing an adverse system of discourse by the other subject right from the beginning, tension-being style dominates the context of the discourse. Moreover the cognitive, sensational and emotional elements that interfere with the main subject cause the object of silence to rise to subjectivity and subjectifying of object has a relation with inactive and projective state of the narrator. The inactive subject (narrator) being under the induced and prescribed system, accepts his lower place. The separation in front of him cannot make any change in the process of meaning, because the subject of actor determines the relation emotional and cognitive aspects of discourse have with the flowing process of meaning, and it has the ability to impact both pre-strain and post-strain direction of the discourse. Thus, the choice and power of the other side of discourse has imposed the place of lower value on the inactive subject who is the narrator.

Action in mystical texts occurs under the influence of factors that provide a suitable space for mystical expression. These factors can be the result of inductive, prescriptive, incidental processes or the offspring of tension and state systems. The origin of these factors goes back to the binary oppositions on which the human system of thought is based, and the discussion about it dates back to the time of Aristotle and has continued in the 20th century in the structuralist and semiotic studies of scholars such as Saussure, Freud, Pierce, Morris, Greimas, etc. Therefore, it is based on these oppositions that in a semantic-semiotics approach, we can study the mechanisms of meaning production in discourse systems with different sensory-perceptual, cognitive and aesthetic dimensions. In the present paper, the author examines the discourse systems of the story “Pirchangi” as an example of poetic stories of Masnavi-i Ma’navi by Jalal al-Din Muhammad Balkhi (Rumi), in order to clarify the position of action, tension, existence and state systems in it and to show the transition of the main character from the initial disorder to the organized state at the end of the story. The result of the analysis indicates the prominent role of the state system in the main leap of the story in which the character moves into a state of belief through an “epiphany”. The attractiveness of this story for repeated reading, as Rumi himself points out at the end of the story, owes to the presence of the existential subject.

Storytelling is one of the important and practical tactics employed in the Koran to convey meanings and concepts. The present article adopts discourse semio-semantics, which is considered as a new approach and which provides the possibility of systematic analysis and evaluation of texts, to make a contribution to this process of conveying Koranic meanings and terms. The story of Dhul-Qarnayn in the Koran, an important didactic story which depicts one of the important idols who played a role in humanity’s world, has the potential to be studied from a semio-semantic perspective. The Koran introduces Dhul-Qarnayn by describing his three journeys. There are sixteen verses in the eighteenth chapter (sūrat) of the Koran, i.e. “The Cave” (Al-Kahf), about his personality and actions. Therefore, the writer seeks to discover the discourse process governing this story in order to provide a plan for the process of production of and formulating meaning in the story. The findings suggest that the dominant discourse of the story, especially in his third journey which is made to build a dam, is action-based. Action function has an important role in the narrative process of the story and action atmosphere controls the process of meaning production. Activists, by gaining power during an action process, are released from meaning crisis and go from the negative status of disconnection from security to the positive status of connection to security. Moreover during this process they succeed in taking over the value object which they had lost due to an external force. Furthermore, Dhul-Qarnayn’s all three journeys are driven by his superego since they are made to the farthest places in order to create a space to take humanity to perfection. This behavior originates from his monotheistic view, which is his fundamental belief and is rooted in his essence, and conveys the ethic process to the reader.

Quran artistic literature – especially prophets` stories- as a rich speech series with meaning layers provides the capacity of semiotic analysis for Qurans` researchers. This approach studies the production, perception and function of meaning in discourse disciplines, with the aim of making Quran concepts more practical, with an updated language relying on semiotics strategies. The present study tries to make it possible and clarifies and studies the Quran with more details. In this way, by the aim of applying Quran concepts with modern languages studies, the story of Queen of Sheba believing in Allah has been explored based on semiotics findings. This unique story gathered religious aim and artistic techniques beautifully.
Present approach investigates to explain management and religious governance that have a main role in transforming a person and a society. The main problem is finding the role of emotional and cognitive presence in How Queen of Sheba believed in Allah and reached monotheism. In this way, the author tries to investigate the process of semiotic change by investigating form- content approach, analyzing the process of content change and regime in power of this story. Present study with such an objective and using descriptive method and semiotics approach analysis ( based on Tension based discourse analysis) wants to answer two main questions: - How interweaving of cognitive and emotional perspectives makes the process of discourse? – Which intelligent schema are made or dominated based on this process? The hypothesis is that cognitive and emotional reaction, bring about tensive process and intelligent schema that is dominated with amplification construction of two perspectives.
The findings of the current research showed that in studying the meaning of this story, tensive process acts as a more significant basis. The Queen intends to reconstruct the type of her presence in the new experience and the position of the court Solomon, the prophet. Mingling this emotional and cognitive presence in fluctuant and spectral reaction, causes the process of the meaning of the story which tends towards the tensive discourse. In this interaction, through a step by step operation, the discourse moves from the first meaning (following the discipline of shirk) to the second meaning (faith to Allah) and in this way, meaning change occurs. This change associates with the discourse connections and discontinuities. In these connections and discontinuities tensive process leads to the formation of three intelligent schemas; amongst them, intelligent process schema is dominated with constant amplification construction in two perspectives of density and spectrum.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the short story of "Leili lullaby" of Baniameri by semio-semantic of discourse system. The main purpose is to address Shushi discourse systems in the perceptual, emotional and aesthetics dimensions and also answer the question that to what extent Iranian short stories are analyzable with this theory? It should be noted that the article first has been done by taking notes from the discourses of the story by the method of content analysis. According to semiotic, semantic is a discourse process in which producing meaning links with phenomenology. In semio-semantic, each semiotic is in interaction, challenge, contrast, alignment and shift with other semiotic which leads to a process action and the action is a way for producing meaning. Therefore, making meaning is supervised by discourse's system. The results show that how 'six sense's give the story phenomenology dimension and reach to pre-stressing and making present of the absent by creating an impulse in the main character of the story and how its emotional and aesthetics processes are formed.

Algirdas Julien Greimas, French semanticist, had made a lot of efforts to provide a coherent model for studying the narration. According to him, what is important in recognizing literary text, is not an effective mechanical analysis, but we must look at the process of producing the text up to the transfer and reception of meaning. That is, we should study the discourse systems of the text, which include three types of intelligent, emotional and eventional. In this study, we will examine the process of producing the meaning in the narrative discourse systems based on the model of the study of Greimas by analyzing the semantics of the novel “and if it was true” written by contemporary French novelist Marc Levy, and we are going to answer the question: How action, state and unexpected flows create the discourse of “and if it was true” and create a variety of intelligent, emotional and eventional systems. This novel, due to it’s narrative logic,can be analyzed from the point of view of intelligent, emotional and eventional discourse systems.
