Abstract
Semiotics, with its phenomenological turn, provides the basis for re-projecting lost dimensions of meaning such as presence, perceptual-sensory flow, and the body. French semiotician Eric Landowski also proposes linguistic systems of adaptation and coincidence in a different way from Grimas. The Resāle-y-Mūmūsīyāh by Ehsan Abdipour, in which the linguistic actions of the actors create an interactive situation in which we witness the transformation of discursive spaces into each other and one event into another. These successive becomings are formed in the context of language and through perceptual-sensory and bodily processes. The issue is how the process of generating meaning in the context of language and the processes of transition from language to discourse are realized. In this research, the mechanisms of meaning production are investigated from the perspective of Landofsky's phenomenology in the context of adaptation, coincidence, programmatic and persuasive linguistic systems. Also, the phenomenological manifestations of the body are examined and analyzed by relying on the linguistic and discourse systems of this story. The aim of the research is to apply Landowski's phenomenological model in analyzing the linguistic structures of the story. The research question is also how does the main character of the story live in the world and which linguistic and discursive systems are seen in this story? The result shows that the systems of planning and persuasion force the main character of the story to accept certain requirements, but the systems of adaptation and coincidence create a lived experience for her.
