The Semiotic Analysis of Meaning Transfer in Discourse Regimes of Al-Zahra Sermon

Semiotics-semantics analyzes the meaning of signs in a discursive process. Unlike classical semiotics, which studies signs at the semantic level, modern semiotics-semantics seeks to explain meaning-production processes in fluid semantic systems, and rather than following dull and inflexible structures, turns toward linguistic ontology. In its formation, the discourse of Al-Zahra Sermon passes through different signs/meanings, leading to the formation of diverse discourse systems with proactive, tensive, stative, and active, and passive systems. The present descriptive-analytic study is based on modern semiotics-semantics and aims to examine and analyze the phenomenological and transcendental presence of signs in Al-Zahra Sermon. Since this sermon includes a variety of meanings, the transcendence of the meaning of "perish", "death" and "resurrection" requires the change in negative conditions to positive conditions to prevent the deposition of meaning. The results indicate that signs/meanings in discourse systems of Al-Zahra Sermon contain many semantic impulses and discourse breaks that lead to the development of tensive and stative processes, hence the process of reconstruction of meaning in this sermon is mainly based on these two discourse systems. Given their function, active and passive systems lead to the emergence of phenomenological discourse; the active function of discourse confronts the discourse partner with a "transcendental presence of the activator", but the passive function of discourse indicates "the disharmonious presence of the passivator". In a proactive discourse system, using the persuasion method, the discourse encounters the resistance and practice of the actant, and the creation of new semantic conditions.
