Abstract

From the point of view of discourse semiotics, three elements of the subject, object and universe are involved in the process of meaning generation, on the basis of sensory-perceptual communication. This research aims to analyze the discourse space of Nowruz beyond the social actions and its anthroposemiotic functions. The main issue is to investigate Nowruz discourse with regard to the phenomenological presence of the human subject, the transfer of discursive spaces following collective interactions and the establishment of a matching system as a result of the transactional performance of collective subject. The question is how the Nowruz discourse, is able to create a relationship based on adaptation between humans and the universe? Considering that the intellectual foundation of semiotics is based on the principle of the dependence of meaning on the phenomenal presence of the subject and his interaction with the objects of the universe; the research method adopted based on this approach is the qualitative study of Nowruz spaces and the role of actors in the transfer of spaces. The findings of the research show that the semiosphere of Nowruz, with the possibility of transferring spaces, leads to the establishment of unity between humans and universe.
