Abstract:
From the linguistic point of view, discourse is an individual action which is the product of language use. Such an action that transfers outward and lived experiences of enunciator with inward quest of language into discourse is our main focus of attention and have different features which this study highlights just on some part of this matter. Among different functions of discourse, three characteristics entitled resistive, insisting and appeasing are those properties that are the foundations of many discourses. By focusing on these features we mean that each discourse action is as a result of some release of energy whose guaranty depends on the dynamic process of discourse. This energy causes the formation of discourse resistance, insistence or even appeasement. Discourse resistance negates an affirmative and stabilized status with creation of different and novel situation. The most important issue of affirmative status negation of a discourse is to open the way to a new perspective which represents the route of discourse movement and can prepare the situations of development and transcendence. Discourse actions have always the possibility of self-presence revival in a process totally different from those procedures which have been already traced for them. Action flows have different threshold resistance. It is possible to conduct a flow in a different way merely with a little energy. Resistance and insistence redefine discourse power. Regarding this fact, power can change the situation of affirmative status with quantitative extension of its presence. But sometimes, the reduction and weakness of this quantitative extension is a type of insistence in order to be qualified in term of presence. The more the process of making myth increases discourse resistance, the more the occurrence of appeasing conditions of presence will be better provided. Resistive feature of discourse facilitate the way to the transcendence of discourse actors. This type of resistance makes possible the actors displacement and obstacles their freezing. Now, it should investigate how and based on which functions the discourse will encounter with dynamic process of appeasement and changes affirmative and stabilized circumstances? The main objective of this study is to analyze three features of discourse which are resistive, insisting and appeasing in the framework of semiotics in order to explain this fact that enunciation is an atmosphere with numerous challenges in which transmutation or transcendence of signification process depends on the movement from affirmative status to negative and dynamic space to prohibit signification sediment.
