An Analysis of the Narrative Patterns in the Epic Mam û Zîn with a Figurative Approach

Each narrative-dramatic text has a particular pattern that, in a systematic and purposeful process in the structure of a set of Sign-Semantic elements, interacts with the signs in the course of the evolution of the story, and ultimately results in the production of meaning. In this study, with transient references to the prospect of semiotic studies and theories, based on narrative and sign-semantic theories of discourse, and focusing on the analysis of the narrative model and figurative and thematic sign, in the process of story transformation, we have reviewed a lyric narrative text. The question in this study is how the narrative structural elements function in the production of meaning. This means that the function of narrative elements such as action and reaction, or the function of figurative and thematic factors in the dimension of sign-semantic in the story process of transformation, all create a complex discourse of meanings. The result demonstrates that narrative elements of a story in a coherent pattern lead to the production of meaning and in this way, the figurative and thematic sign in the construction of the dimensional value of narration and the creation and transmission of meanings are formed in a structured context of narrative patterns. In fact, it should be noted that factors such as Location/time context and cultural/social elements at three levels author, text and audience have an undeniable role in the understanding and production of meaning.
