Abstract: (1172 Views)
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.
The main question of the present research is the analysis of the phenomenal dimensions of meaning in the literary discourse of Goli Targhi which depends on the stative regime of discourse and enunciator semiotic modes of presence which forms his lived experience.In order to investigate the semiotic components of discourse in this work and by relying on the phenomenological aspect of meaning , the author seeks to investigate these components. By analyzing the text and adopting a descriptive-analytical approach, the author also explained the place of discourse action and analyzed each one with the help of elements and textual evidence. Also, by examining these factors and in this direction, the writer has tried to answer the following questions:
Research Question(s)
1.what are the major phenomenal dimensions of meaning and what are their semio-discursive functions and components in this short story? 2. How is it possible to explain the place of action in the whole discourse system of this short story?
Therefore, the hypotheses of the present research are as follows: 1. Phenomenal dimensions of meaning in discourse correlate with state, tension and adjustment which has an aesthetic function; 2. The interaction of these components marginalizes the narrative action by disrupting the order and creating chaos in the modal verbs, and further, with the stability of the modal verbs the narrative action places once again at heart of the discourse field. Undoubtedly, these interactions have a close connection with the semiotic modes of presence.
3. Methodology
In this research, the author has first investigated different types and correlates of phenomenola aspect of discourse under diverse semiotic titles. To this end and by benefiting from the descriptive –analytical research methodology, the textual data were extracted from the novel through a careful and close reading. Furthermore, all the requirements of theoretical framework were fulfilled in order to analyze and categorize different types of semiotic correlates in phenomenal reading of literary discourse.
4. Results and discussion
4-1:” Pear tree” : A discourse regime based on stative components of discourse with phenomenal and aesthetic function.
4-2: Investigating phenomenal aspect of “Pear tree”:Semiotic analysis and reading of concept of love.

6. Conclusion
Analyzing the phenomenal dimensions of meaning in Goli Targhi's literary discourse in the short story "The Pear Tree" is the result and subject of the stative regime of discourse and the modes of presence in literary discourse. In the present research, with the phenomenal reading of this short story and in other words, by using the important pillars of studies in semiotic approach to discourse it was observed that throughout this story, in fact, we are faced with stative components of discourse , which as a result of a sensory-perceptual activity in establishing and interacting with the surrounding world, in a way, creates a discourse with an aesthetic function, which was discussed in the course of the story under the title of crystallization of the concept of love for life. . Phenomenal dimensions of meaning in discourse in general and in this short story in particular are the output and subject to state, tension and adjustment, which has an aesthetic function. On the other hand, the interaction of these components marginalizes the narrative action by disrupting the order and creating chaos in modal verbs, narrative action places once again at the heart of literary discourse. Undoubtedly, these interactions have a close connection with the semiotic modes of presence.
