Sohrevardi’s Simurgh and indication-Unstable Semantics

Sohrevardi’s “Simurgh-become hoopoe” passes by meandrous physical lingual paths and creates new concepts under their influence. In the discussion of “Simurgh-become hoopoe” by Sohrevardi, we are encountered with a type of indication that not only appears in the status of a bird, but also emerges in other status as well. Investigating this, we enter the realm of structural lingual substitution. In this study, the researcher has tried to investigate conversational and cultural functions with an analytical-descriptive approach in order to pass from a physical-action status to a symbolic tranxendental one and to delineate indication-semantics characteristics in the story of “The Calling of the Simurgh” by Sohrevardi. “Hoopoe” as a substitutional order in Sohrevardi’s discussion, is gradually forgotten as a bird and is altered to a meaningful indication through the impact of conceptual transformation: in fact, “hoopoe” is everything besides being “hoopoe”. Such transformation that leads to an alteration from appearance to multi-conceptual and tranxendental type in language is called evolutionary path of indication.
