Investigating the Phenomenological Aspects of Meaning in “The Pear Tree” by Goli Taraghi: A Semiotic Approach to Literary Discourse Analysis

The current research aims to investigate the phenomenological aspects of meaning in fictional discourse of “The pear tree” by Goli Taraghi- one of the writers of contemporary Persian literature. Research methodology is descriptive –analytical. In fact, the author seeks to explain the underlying interaction of semiotic components in this short story by relying on and investigating the phenomenal presence of enunciator in order to show how aesthetic function emerge in discourse and affect the process of meaning production and perception. To this end, the main objective of the present research is to explain the major attributes of phenomenological approach in literary discourse analysis and it’s semio-discursive components. The results showed that the phenomenological aspects of meaning are as a result of state, tension and adjustment as semiotic correlates of discourse which leads to the formation of aesthetic discourse. The interaction of these elements marginalizes narrative action through modal constituents’ turbulence and then stabilizes them by the emergence of thymic state of love which once again rehabilitates narrative action. Undoubtedly, these interactions are in constant relationship with semiotic modes of presence.
