One of the new approaches of text analysis in the fields of semiotics,is social semiotics with an interdisciplinary function.One of the important theories in the discussion of social semiotics, which examines the status and function of signs in society, belongs to Pierre Giraud who classified signs in a society into identity and social etiquette.Identity marks represent the individual’s distinction from other individuals in society,which shows the organizationof society and relations between individuals and groups and is formed according tothe dominant atmosphere of society in human nature.The aim of the current research is to find the social signs of identity in Makhzan al-Asrar (The Treasury of Mysteries), a classical literary texts for studying societies, ethics and their impact on human identity, based on Pierre Giroud's view. Using a descriptive-analytical method, this research extracted the social signs of identity from the stories of the Makhzan al-Asrar. The findings showed that Nizami used the identity symbols of the group, names, titles, occupations and religious in order of frequency to distinguish different types of human functions from those of society and even other beings, and showed the interaction of identity and society with each other which was reflected in the form of moral vices and virtues in the behavior of members of his ideal or contemporary society.

Social semiotics examines the status and function of signs in the society and it is one of the recent approaches to text analyses in semiotic studies. One of the important views in the discussion of social semiotics is Pierre Guerrero who classified social semiotics into issues of identity and social etiquette. Signs of social etiquettes show how individuals and social groups communicate. These signs are divided into verbal and non-verbal communications. The aim of this study is to find the signs of social etiquette in Makhzal Al-Asrar based on the Pierre Guerrero's framework. Using a descriptive-analytical method, this study explored the social signs of non-verbal communication from the Makhzal Al-Asrar. After categorizing, counting and analysing the data, it is found that these signs are associated with actions and postures, various states of facial expressions (crying and laughing, shyness, color, look and eyes), distance, space, food, objects, clothes, symbols and signs, smell and aroma in Makhzon-ul-Asrar. However, the actions and posture of the body and the posture of the behaviour, respectively, had the highest frequency of use, which has played a role in the transfer of concepts through body language along with the spoken language. With the intention of recognizing and encouraging the audience to accept moral-behavioral norms according to his proposed models, Nizami consciously uses the non-verbal communication indicators as auxiliary language in order to make his teachings more effective.
