The emotional system is one of the discourses that is examined in the frameworkof the sign semantic model. in this system, the flow of means production is linked to perceptual sensory conditions of the passoniate and the signs- meanings are transformed into dynamic and muitydimensional forms. In this regard, the purpose of the present study is to explain the role of the mentioned process in the style of the passoniateˈs presence  and the evoluation of discours conditions, based on the method of the sign- semantic discourse ,while explaining the emotional process of the story “Al-less va  Al-kelb “. Findings show, in the story of Al-less and Al-kelab, the emotional system is based on passions. The emotions and passions in the novel, of which anger and despair are the most prominent, have created the emotional system of discourse based on a meaningful and logical flow. The occurrence of two events in a passionate life, betrayal of loved ones and failure to avenge betrayers, has played an important role in transforming the discourse by influencing emotions, as well as, fundamentally changing the text. In the initial partes of the text, the emotion of anger while causing a continuous and dynamic presence of passion, cause the value of revenge in the discourse. In the final partes, the feeling of despaire leads to isolation and passionate absence from the scene of events and the value funection of the text has changed from revenge to surrender.

Communication is one of the most important theories of new linguistics, which was theorized by Roman Jakobson. He believes that every linguistic event consists of six elements, which are: Sender, receiver, message, code, context, communication channel. He has determined six functions for each element in transfering the message: emotivethat function that is related to the sender conative function that is related to the receiver poetiquethat function that related to the message itself,  phatique function that is related to the communication channel, referentielle functionthat is related to the context of the message, metalinguistique function that is related to the interpretation of language. One of the types of narration in the Quran is storytelling, which is one of the most important means of conveying the message to the audience. The present research was carried out with descriptive-analytical method and with the aim of investigating the six functions of Jakobson's theory of communication in the story of Moses and Khidr  (PBUH) in Surah Al- Kahf . The research problem is to examine the degree of conformity of the communication theory with the verses; Especially the Quranic discourse and the effect of this theory in a new interpretation of the Holy Quran. The results indicate that the story of Moses and Al-Khidr (PBUT) revolves around the topic of education and learning, and this issue is mostly realized through two-way communication between the teacher and the learner. Therefore, it is expected that the persuasive function will be more prominent compared to other functions. All the actions that Al-Khidr (PBUH) used to teach Moses about piercing the ship and killing the teenage boy and building the wall are considered a non-verbal behavior style.The combined verbal-behavioural style has also had the least use in the verses of the story, which can be seen in the speech of Moses (PBUH) in expressing the extreme fatigue and hunger caused by his long night journey. As it is evident, the adaptation of the verses in this story based on the theory of communication brings us a new interpretation in accordance with the requirements of the time and leads to a new and deep and unprecedented understanding of them.

Comparative discourse analysis is a branch of linguistics focusing on comparative study of languages, cultures, and discourses in terms of similar linguistic and metalinguistic variables in the construction and monitoring of discourse (Linha, 2022). Monitoring discourse is the analysis of strategies in planning, distribution, production, and utilization of language to create coherence and relevance between units of discourse by the creative, innovative, and flexible way of application of discourse markers (DMs) in human communication (Mohammadi and Dehghan, 2021). This explorative, descriptive, and qualitative study analyzed coherence relations in “Modire Madreseh” by Jalal Aleahmad and “The Old Man and The Sea by Hemingway. DMs are the most frequent, complex, and creative meta-linguistic elements in human communication (Sayadkooh and Reisi, 2017). Their utilization in discourse is not random and they perform different cultural social and pragmatic functions facilitating human communication (Fraser, 2006). Theoretically, DMs are defined and analyzed from two perspectives: relevance theory by Sperber and Wilson (1995) and coherence theory by Glansberg (2018). And the assumptions include: all text possess coherence, there are different types of coherence relations in texts, and these coherence relations should be discovered by the people in discourse. Approaching DMs functionally, Redeker (2006) believes that DMs’ main function is establishing relationship between units of discourse. From a semantic perspective, Fraser (2006) analyzed DMs at sentence level and believes that they establish the relationship between messages in the former, present, and latter sentences. Aijmer (2013) concludes that DMs do not possess fixed lexical functions and their functions are contexts-dependent and context-sensitive resulting in different functions in discourse. Empirically, DMs are investigated in different languages skills such as writing, speaking, listening and translation by different investigators. This exploratory, descriptive, and qualitative study analyze coherence relations in two Persian and English literary works. Theoretically the study was supported by coherence theory in discourse analysis and the following analysis models established within this theoretical perspective: DMs inventory developed by Fraser (2006) and DMs functional inventory by Brinton (1996). Coherence theory centers around the appropriacy of concepts in terms of their relationship in the context of discourse. The corpus consisted of the following two Persian and English novels: “Modire Madreseh” by Jalal Aleahmad and “The Old Man and The Sea by Hemingway and these novels where selected due to the similar literary genre, similar readability levels, and close date of publication in two literary discourses. Moreover, to verify the reliability of the findings 20% the data were given to two raters to verify the researchers’ identification and classification of DMs and their functions. The results of the quantitative analysis revealed that the construction of coherence relations between units of discourse was substantiated based on a four plane framework established by four groups of inferential, elaborative, contrastive, and temporal DMs in monitoring discourse. And the most frequent DMs were elaborative DMs. The qualitative analysis of the pragmatic functions of DMs applied in these literary works resulted in the following seven plane spectrum of functions for DMs: information indication, temporality, topic switch, opening markers, closing markers, turn exchange, and reform markers. This creative, flexible, and innovative approach in the construction and interpretation of discourse is substantiated through the application of pragmaticalization. So, new, creative, and context sensitive inferences about functions are substantiated for DMs and they are always being renewed, modified, and innovated substantially. Different implications in different research and educational perspectives about teaching literature, language, and different languages skills are suggested and discussed.

Discourse analysis is a new, and quite interesting, branch of linguistics that deals mainly with the analysis of language interactions. Among different topics discussed in discourse analysis, Grice’s four maxims form an important topic especially when it comes to analyzing linguistic interactions of various types. Each maxim (quality, quantity, relation and manner) has its own meaning. An important point is that violation of these maxims can lead at times to a change in meaning or intention of the user. Using the Grice’s maxims theory, the present study intends to study interactions that occurred among Iranian users of a social network on latest celebrity news. The analysis of the data revealed that violation of the maxim of quantity in this social media by social media users on celebrities’ web pages was intentional. In other words, the users violated this maxim especially when they wanted to degrade , disgrace and dishonor the celebrities.

Shuubiya discourse was a reaction against the superiority and governing to Iranians life and chastity which had continued about from the first A.H. century to the sixth and seventh A.H. century. This article analyzes the shuubiya movement in Shahnameh based on the discourse analysis pattern of Laclau and Mouffe. Quality and argument of Iranians fighting become clear in the procedure of arising the Shuubiya, specially in the Ferdowsi’s era. With quarrel of Shuuvbiya discourse and non- Iranian government, Shuubiya discourse in the Ferdowsi’s narrative redefined and articulated with symbols of justice, libertarianism, rationalism and nationalism, around the meaning core of “rebirth the Iranian government”. Political domain and doctrinal system of Ghaznavians  , introduce the Caliphate of Baghdad as the non- discourses and apposes the rival’s discourse by standing out the identity concepts and marginalizing the doctrinal and economical rigidity. Shuubiya discourse reproduces the Iranian government theory of “Ideal King” for proving the “ Freedom” from doctrinal domain of Baghdad Caliphate system and non- Iranian political government. Political causality of apposing with aliens and stranger government, is ascertained with liberal subject of “Universal Hero” (Rostam) and for proving this type of discourse aim and dream fights with enemies and aliens and never accept the captivity and disgrace in front of non- discourses.

Schizophrenia is a mental illness that affects its patients' cognitive functions and different levels of language. Discourse is one of these levels that is severely affected by this disease. In this research, 11 schizophrenic patients and 11 healthy individuals were compared using the interpersonal metafunction in Halliday’s systemic functional grammar. To collect data, we used The Persian Aphasia Battery, Western Aphasia Battery, Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination, the story “Frog, where are you?” and questions such as “tell one of your good and bad memory, talk about Nowruz, etc.”. We employed SPSS software to analyze the data.  The findings showed that there was a significant difference in the speech of patients with schizophrenia compared to healthy people in terms of the use of items such as polarity, modality, past and present tenses, declarative, WH-interrogatives and imperative speech functions, subject, complement and circumstantial adjuncts. However, no significant difference was found in the use of future tense, yes/no interrogatives and suggestion speech functions. According to the findings of this research and in line with previous studies, interpersonal speech systems can be used to provide a profile of the intensity of emotional and social disorders and incoherent speech in schizophrenic patients.

Examining and reviewing the formal and semantic layers of Persian language stories is one of the tasks in the field of contemporary literary criticism. The cultural and linguistic functions of folk tales are the reason for preserving and examining them via literary criticism. They also increase the importance of such stories. The purpose of this study is to investigate the folk tale of "the Pearl Leaf" by Enjavi Shirazi based on structuralists and poststructuralists’ viewpoint. So, adopting a descriptive-analytical approach based on Greimas’ theory, the method of producing and receiving the meaning of this story has been studied and analyzed. Greimas, the semantic semiotician, sought to provide a coherent model for the study of narrative, which was later called the modern semantic semiotics. According to him, the important thing is to know the process of text production from the time of transmission to reception, based on the Actantial and sensitivity elements. In this way, fiction can be considered as a suitable platform for discourse exploration and integration of literature and discourse; since linguistic narrative has opened new windows in the field of fiction. In this study, using the theme of this story, different types of intelligent discourse system and their factors have been extracted. Finally, it has been concluded that although this story comes from the heart of popular culture (folklore), with an appearance simple, yet complex and coherent form, it has a specific structural and narrative pattern and form- Propp's morphology - which has made it fully compatible with Greimas’ theory of semantic semiotics.

Ecolinguistics: Language, Ecology and the Stories We Live by, written by the British linguist and ecologist Arran Stibbe, is the second edition of the book that was first published in 2015 by Routledge and was one of the most prominent works focused on this relatively new interdisciplinary field of applied linguistics. The book, in its second edition (Stibbe, 2021), is organised in eleven chapters and, together with the appendix of the sources of data and the glossary of technical terms at the end of the book, contains a total of 260 pages. The present article will first give a brief overview of the background of the term “ecolinguistics”, and the advent of this field and the scope of its studies; that is because, as is often the case with many scientific disciplines, this cover term and its other related terms have been used in various senses since the emergence of the field. The content of the book in its second edition will then be looked at in detail.

This study is based on Van Leeuwen’s theory of legitimacy to show how proverbs can legitimize or derive legitimacy from a discourse. The research method is descriptive-analytical and is based on Leeuwen’s components such as authorization, moral evaluation, rationalization, and mythmaking. The statistical population is Twelve Thousand Persian Proverbs and Thirty Thousand Equivalents written by Ebrahim Shakurzadeh Bolouri. The sample size is three thousand Persian proverbs that have been selected from this book based on the systematic random sampling method. The results show that among the legitimation processes, the evaluation components have the highest range with a total of 380 proverbs. This seems to be due to the importance of evaluation as well as the human tendency to evaluate. The results also indicate that proverbs in discourse are used for various purposes such as persuading the audience and legitimizing or deriving legitimacy from a discourse.

In order to understand the lyric poetry in any language, one should be familiar with the different aspects of its most important concepts. Because despite the common meaning overlap in words such as love and beauty in the world’s lyric poetry, there are still special cultural and linguistic differences without which it’s impossible to properly understand a poetry. One of these concepts is madness and its various images and interpretations in Persian poetry. This article tries to use descriptive – analytical method to examine various aspects to show how a common word finds its way in to Language of lyrical poetry and gradually expands other concepts of the poetry tradition, it becomes permanent, and then due to its parallelism with intellectual currents in the context of history, culture and thought. It is possible not to present it as a discourse in lyrical poetry. The results of this study show how the concept of insanity travels the discours path and undergoes changes from the dictionary meaning with the passage of time and political situation, and it is promoted from the socially unpleasant meaning ti the concept of love and then in the context Mutazila and Ashari philosophical conflicts become a suitable term for anti – rationalism, and with the spreadof Sufi ideas, it becomes a valuale term. And it goes beyond the limit of a mere word and opens its place as a common discourse by expanding the semantic realm and become one of the basic discourses of Persian lyrical poetry

Literary texts, in connection with the social conditions of their time, also show the complex relations of power. In Naser Khosrow's poems, the existing discourses in the society are represented in a way that mainly shows the poet's resistance against the construction of the power of the Sunni government of Ghaznavid religion. Nasser Khosrow's greatest intellectual challenges are the critique of power (hegemony, domination) and the political and religious discourses of the Ghaznavid era. Based on his religious and linguistic knowledge, the poet challenges the discourse hegemony of Ghaznavid rule. According to the poet, the structure of government in that period is a combination of political and religious authority and the way of exercising power is done by political interpretation of religion and knowledge of Shafi'i jurisprudence in order to legitimize the government. Nasser Khosrow, as a Shiite poet, tries to delegitimize the political rule of his time in the form of his poems. The issue of the present article is how Naser Khosrow reacts to the dominant Ghaznavid discourse in his poems and how his religious beliefs are crystallized in the construction of the discourse of legitimacy and reproduction? The method of the present study is Michel Foucault's discourse of power and modern historiography. The result of the research shows that Naser Khosrow's discourse in order to delegitimize the political and social system of his time, shows the conflict of power discourse between Sunni and Shiite political jurisprudence.

The role of place is implicitly or explicitly undeniable, in the formation of discourse and the production of meaning. Objectivity and abstraction are two predominant characteristics of places, which each give their place according to their practical context in various discourses. The main question is, how can discourses be the place of spatial challenge and pave the way to pass from the state of action to the state of transcendence and imagination? Dissociation from objective space and place, phenomenal aspect of presence and sensory-perceptual reception of place can take shape to spatial transcendence. By adopting the descriptive-analytical research methodology and relying on the "Paris appeared from afar" as the corpus of research, which is a collection of travel descriptions of Qajar period travelers, the author seeks to an answer to the following question, how does enunciator achieve a transcedental and spatial aspect of Paris by negating the actional aspect of the place and by relying on the co-presence surrounded world and sensory –perceptual experience? This perception of the word and live experience reveals the phenomenological aspect of the place ad gives the reader a new insight of the “other place” and existence.

Taking van Dijk's theory and critical approach, this study sought to examine the discursive strategies employed by James Morier in the transformation and representation of Oriental-Iranian life. To do so, by examining Haji Baba Esfahani’s biography novel, the study attempted to answer the following questions: 1) How did Morier's ideology affect his speech? 2) How are the identity and life of the Eastern-Iranian represented in the speech of this Western and Christian writer? 3) What are the most practical methods and strategies to identify Morier's ideology in the novel? To this end, the authors have critically examined the role of these representations in the production processes of colonial discourse. The data were collected from libraries, and the research method was descriptive-analytical. The findings demonstrated that Morier's discourse contains representations of the East as it has been conceived by Western Orientalists, which is seen as “other” in their ideology and connected to racism. On the basis of this ideology, Morier has attempted to present an unpleasant picture of Iranian society during the Qajar era by changing the negative image and giving himself identity by attributing negative traits to Iranians. It is worth noting that ideological structures are expressed in several ways in the novel’s discourse in terms of “meaning”, “formal structures”, and “rhetoric”.

Semiotic-semantic discourse analysis, as a suitable model for religious text analysis, particularly Nahj al-Balagha, utilizes the tensive semiotics model introduced by Jacques Fontanille and Claude Zilberberg. This model delves into the intricate interplay between intensive (emotional, internal) and expansive (cognitive, external) valencies, offering valuable insights into the dynamic structure of the text, emphasizing the tensive-active and sensory-perceptive relationships. This article explores how meaning is intricately woven in the enunciation, bridging the gap between quantitative and qualitative dimensions, thus shedding light on the production of meaning in the discourse processes within the Imam's letters to Mu’awiyah. The study transcends a mere analysis of the fixed letter structure, focusing on the fluid and adaptable nature of the letters' production process and the interactive dimension between the agent and the actor in the enunciation space.

Neurolinguistics is an interdisciplinary field that explores the relationship between language and various aspects of cognitive function. It investigates the inner workings of the mind within the framework of linguistics (Ahlsen, 2006). A recurring question in this field is whether an individual's linguistic and pragmatic abilities can independently enhance or hinder communication for those with neurological disorders. Some individuals with aphasia can compensate for their linguistic deficits by relying on their pragmatic skills. However, it has been observed that individuals with dementia, due to impaired pragmatic abilities, struggle to maintain their communication skills (Ulatowska & Chapman, 1995). Despite numerous studies, the exact nature of the pragmatic breakdown in dementia remains poorly understood and is a subject of ongoing debate (Garcia & Joanette, 1994).Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. According to the International Classification of Diseases, Alzheimer's is characterized as a gradual decline in memory and cognitive function that impairs daily activities (Kilmova et al., 2015). This disease affects various aspects of cognitive function, including memory, reasoning, thinking, language, and judgment, gradually causing linguistic and cognitive problems by shrinking the cerebral cortex (Milton, 2008). Linguistic deficits are often among the first cognitive signs of Alzheimer's disease. These deficits manifest as difficulties in understanding word meanings, finding appropriate words, naming objects, and comprehending words due to a decline in the social aspects of language. Consequently, individuals with Alzheimer's may struggle in social communication, speaking excessively, loudly, repeating themselves, or losing track of the conversation's topic.Assessing and identifying the language problems of individuals with Alzheimer's requires a comprehensive understanding of how the disease impacts language and the patients' cognitive perceptions. Recognizing the language abilities and disabilities of Alzheimer's patients at different stages of the disease can inform the provision of rehabilitation services for this segment of society. This research seeks to provide scientific insights into the linguistic performance of Persian-speaking Alzheimer's patients. The study aims to compare the discourse of Persian-speaking normal individuals and patients with Alzheimer's (at early and middle stages of the disease) at both linguistic and pragmatic levels. The study aims to address the following questions:Is there a significant difference in the discourse of Persian-speaking normal individuals and patients with Alzheimer's (at the early and middle stages of the disease) at linguistic levels?Is there a significant difference in the discourse of Persian-speaking normal individuals and patients with Alzheimer's (at the early and middle stages of the disease) at pragmatic levels?

If we consider language not as a mirror reflecting struggles, but as the subject and tool of struggles, then we should use the signifier of discourse, which makes the concepts of power and language understandable in a continuous and inseparable conceptual entanglement. This article aims to analyze the text of Tarikh-e Beyhaqi as one of the most influential classical texts of Persian literature with a discursive method. In other words, by placing this text in its discursive context and its dialectical relationship with power, and understanding this text as the field of conflict between powers and conflicting discourses of society, a new understanding of it can be achieved. In order to achieve this goal, Fairclough's critical discourse analysis method is used to perform micro-textual analysis, and Laclau and Mouffe's discourse theory is used to perform macro-discourse analysis of Bayhaghi era. The text of Tarikh-e Beyhaqi, as shown, does not reflect the true struggle, but itself, is part of the struggle process. This text is influenced by the chain of ruling discourses and is used against peripheral discourses. Tarikh-e Beyhaqi, under the influence of the discourse that pulls the bipolar mind of the text to a directional representation of the flow of affairs, highlights the ruling discourses and marginalizes the peripheral discourses.

Investigating the entanglement of subjectivity and discourse, knowing the various aspects of power relations that lead to the construction of these discourses, and limiting subjectivity and agency, are some of the necessities of life in the present era. This is especially for adolescents who are at the beginning of social interactions. Meanwhile, gender is one of the issues that plays a decisive role in constructing the individual subjectivity, and a part of these discourses occur through the gender of individuals. This research targets the adolescent subjectivity and seeks to find out whether subject agency addresses freedom from discourse networks or not? Foucault’s point of view on the social and discourse subject, which has examined the individual subjectivity as a product in discourse processes, is utilized in this respect.This research is a qualitative research in which the method of social semiotics is utilized to examine different dimensions of subjectivity. Signs have been studied in two contextual contexts (linguistic and aesthetic signs) and social contexts (speech acts, communicational behavioral and body). The findings of this study indicate that the subject of boy in this novel, despite having action and agency, plays a role in the heart of tradition and gender discourse and can be considered as the object of the masculinity discourse. In general, it can be claimed that the subject of this novel is the subject of discourse, and what seems to be about him in terms of subjectivity and agency is only a role as a masculine object.

Literary criticism is the exploration of a text's semantic layers using theories and methodologies that are mostly drawn from other humanities disciplines. New Historicism, which Steven Greenblatt developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s, is one of these theories. Modern historicism holds that literature and history both have an impact on one another, in contrast to conventional historicism, which speaks of the one-sided influence of history on literature. In this study, we attempted to evaluate the tale of Rostam and Sohrab in relation to modern historicism, identify and analyze its discourses, and propose a novel interpretation from it. In this narrative, a variety of discourses have generally been depicted, and they develop the plot in conflict with another. These discourses include the Nirani discourse (Afrasiab), the official wrestling discourse (Rostam), the informal wrestling discourse (Sohrab), the women's discourse (Tahmina and Gerd Afrid), and the Shahriari discourse (Kikavos) (other Iranian and Nirani wrestlers).
