The social approach of Eric Landowski's about interactive sign-semantic, which is presented in continuation of Greimas' aesthetic beliefs of guizzo , is a productive approach in literary criticism. The researchers of this study have used this approach in analyzing adaptation of the corporality sign meanings of romantic in Forough Farrokhzad’s poems which are transcendental.The interaction of the discourse partners in the process of the poet's romantic discourse creates infinite meanings by metamorphosis of the corporality signs. the source of meaning creation occurre with union of me and other.Corporeal subject and corporeal object create a dynamic and generative texture in a life experience with eachother and the surrounding world in phenomenological understanding. this is in a collection of dynamic physical signs that create a generative texture in an ecstatic text . the movement of chain of ambiguous combinations leads to a pleasant ecstasy in the union of discourse partners.the authors have investigated three poems named "Vasl". "Fathe bagh" and "Bad ma ra ba khod khahad bord" with a holistic criticism. The result of investigation was that the romantic interaction of discourse partners with physical sign-meanings has been continuous in order to achieve unity and creation of new meanings.

Food as a way of communication between different people in society can turn an individual experience into a collective experience. The aim of this study is to investigate the social function of food in Iranian society in the framework of social semantics. The corpus of the study is the votive food that evokes certain values and beliefs for every Iranian Shiite person. We know that food is a way of communication between different people in society and can turn an individual experience into a collective experience.Votive food has transcendental values and is a link between members of the community, but it is also based on a religious dimension, which is effective and has a predetermined role. Besides enjoying food, the desire to achieve something or fulfill a need is hidden in it. This article shows that, firstly, the votive food has a religious value; and secondly, while mixing the layers of its power, it causes the formation of new layers of power and connects pleasure through the senses to knowledge. and finally, creates a visual system.

Semantics and semiotics of discourse are the results of structuralist semiotics and the narrative system of semantic studies. This approach links the flow of meaning production with sensory-perceptual conditions. The main purpose of this article is to investigate the narrative structure of the position of animals in the stories of Kelileh and Demneh from the perspective of semiotics. The main issue of the research is how the state transcendence is manifested in the current narrations. The research method is descriptive-analytical and the data are ten chapters of Kelileh and Demneh anecdotes which have been collected and examined in a documentary manner. The main idea is that people broadly interpret their experiences and convey them in the form of stories. The results of the research show that in each narrative, depending on the events and happenings, different discourse systems can be observed and explained. Narratives serve to convey a moral message to the audience in terms of the function of semio-semantics as a meaningful discourse and the abstract narrator often take the state system by layering the text. The results indicate that in most of the narrations, state system overcomes the action system and after that, calls for other systems of discourse, such as systems of coincidence, event, and adaptation. The findings indicate the fact that the discursive state system in various ways produces meaning sometimes by resistance to the stabilized situation along with retaliatory actions, sometimes, with a system of discourse conservatism and adaptation principle, sometimes with the discourse system of risk-taking and thus provides the way to enter the existential transcendence of animal narrations. The analysis shows that in the tales of this masterpiece, and has realized the meaning.

Non-verbal Communication is one of the branches of Semiotics that includes all types of motor behaviors such as facial expressions, body movements, and gestures in people. The present study seeks to examine the novel entitled Frankenstein in Baghdad by Ahmed Saadawi from the perspective of Non-Verbal Communication signs such as facial expressions, eye states, parasites, objects, distance, and so on and so forth. The aim of this study is to introduce, classify, decode, and analyze all kinds of Non-Verbal Communication in the novel to show how body language can convey, amongst other things, such functions as love, fear, anxiety, and lying, and also to show what tools the author uses to narrate non-verbal behaviors of characters. The results show that Saadawi has benefited the most from the different positions of the hands and face and from different types of gaze, along with their related functions. He has used these modes to express, amongst other things, such concepts as fear of strange things, fear, anxiety and sadness, and gaining information. In addition to these, other modes and organs are also involved in conveying the author's messages. Also, most of the functions of these messages are substitution functions.

Mass media pave the way for expressing social affairs and people’s lives at the national and international levels. As a powerful and influential tool, Cinema plays a significant role in attracting audiences to express social issues. Using Fairclaough model for critical discourse analysis and descriptive and qualitative method, this research investigates one of the branches of sociolinguistics, namely, the impact of the gender on the representation of social issues in Rag-e-Khab. The population of this study is Iranian cinema movies, and Rage-e-Khab, selected through a purposive sampling method, was analyzed for the purpose of this study. The main questions are: How does the movie Rage-e-Khab represent gender? How are the men and women represented in the film's story? The findings of this study show that the female character of the story owes her luck to the presence of a man whom she does not know very well, and builds a world with her emotional and fragile beliefs stemming from her mistaken view of life. The man's character in the story betrays the woman and abuses her fragile psychological conditions after separation, and ultimately destroys the love in the woman, yet he remains in the life of the woman in the story. This woman represents a part of those in society who grew up unknowingly disregarding their surroundings and neglected the advice of the father, which was portrayed in the film as the society. As a result, women confronted with the bitter truth of deception and, ultimately, this internal collapse recreates them and makes them meaningful.

The present sociolinguistic research aimes to study the discourse of ambient billboards in Tehran in order to identify, by means of inter-semiotic cohesive devices, the aspects which lead to the development of meaning in this minimal medium. Accordingly, the present study attempts to address the question "How inter-textual elements of Tehran ambient billboards could create meaning in relating to intra-textual elements? In order to analyze and represent the unknown aspects of meaning, a mixed model with a multivariate approach has been used to analyze the intrinsic meta-analysis constructs at different levels and with respect to the intertextual links in the context. The data were collected using field and documentary method. After the data were collected through cluster random smapling, they were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed. The findings showed that the resemioticisation of non-peripheral text in the context of Tehran ambient billboards was influenced by features of urban areas or religious, historical, cultural or commercial sites, extending the dimensions of meaningfulness. Also, the resemioticisation of the texture of the position of the ambient billboards of Tehran was based on the reference to the structures of the texture of peripheral text, the development of texture in relation to the context of the perimeter position, and the presence of structures of the perimeter context in the text of the billboards, which has led to the expansion of the dimensions of the miniaturization of this minimal medium.

Identity and vogue are in constant relationship in a discursive regime and as a process pursue the flow of semiosis. Vogue tries to reach an idealized presence with the bond that establishes on the one hand between what it has, but which has become the habit and what the other has , which is not the habit yet and can be considered the result of the reconciliation with itself. Thus, the discourse of the vogue takes the path in parallel with the reconstruction of identity where we encounter with an idealized body, since in this respect the vogue portrays an image of the other. This similarity with the other creates a distance with the body-habit. The vogue moves in a contradiction with two negative and positive poles. This contradiction guarantees in its turn the rationality of the vogue. The main objective of semiotic analysis of vogue is to show how the vogue passes over the boundary of structures and habits and enters the discourse of chaos –idealism in its own system of social order through a processual and rational manner.

With regard to the advent of intermediality theory in the recent years, the objective of this study is to bring to the attention the breakdown of the theater discourse space into several forms of media spaces in order to understand their forms of participation in theater through the study of its intermedia functions. The communication space will form in relation to the intermedia and collision of host and guest media. In such a communicative context, the primary features of communication may be maintained or make a transition to a new discourse. Accordingly, the paper provides a definition as well as a comparison/contrast of concepts such as media relations and media references, mixmediality, multimediality, transmediality and intermediality. There has always been confusion between concepts of intermedia and intertextuality to the extent that, at times, they have been mistakenly used interchangeably. This study discusses the emergence of intermedia theory and its status in art and media discourse analysis in the era of technology expansion, relying on some plays performed between 2011 and 2016.
