RT - Journal Article T1 - A Discourse Analysis of “The Prince and His Companions” in Kelileh and Demneh Based On Semio-Semantics JF - jpll YR - 2019 JO - jpll VO - 26 IS - 85 UR - http://jpll.khu.ac.ir/article-1-3401-en.html SP - 211 EP - 229 K1 - Kelileh and Demneh K1 - Narrative Discourse K1 - Semantic Process K1 - Semiotics K1 - Collective Mindset AB - Despite showing an overtly simple structure, the semantic process in classic literary-narrative discourse conforms to complicated semiotic systems. As a result, semio-semantics is deemed as one of the most scientific, reliable tools since it helps intradiscursive semio-textual propositions be phenomenologically, and even epistemologically, analyzed. Consequently, the narrative discourse in “The Prince and His Companions” is studied in order to find how much sign elements have semantic capability and how effective they have been in revealing the narrator’s thoughts and discourse. This study is a library research, trying to address a) what situation and function linguistic backgrounds and parameters have in quality and fluidity of discursive meaning in line with narrator’s mindset; and b) how sign-individuals exist in the semantic process and epistemological discourse. In general, findings reveal that the narrator has intentionally formed this narrative discourse, compiling all semiotic systems and elements in an attempt to describe deterministic mental representation.
