The semiotics is one of the scientific instruments for analyzing the discourse
system, which studies the components of meaning structure and creation in texts.
In semiotics, the gnosilogical characteristics of literary works will find the chance
to appear clearly by surpassing mere constructive semiotics to phenomenology
semiotics and showing the signs path of moving towards higher and more perfect
signs.
The beautiful poems of Oghab by Khanlari and Arash Kamangir by
Kasrayie are the narrative oriented kind of poetry, which have the narrative
characteristics due to having situational identity and various actions and
nourishing precious mythos actions at the end of the story. Therefore , these
two masterpieces are worth being studied and analyzed for semiotics
analysis and discourse system. The prescriptive discourse system and
manipulative ones are flowing at the beginning and in the middle of these
two stories. Later on, proceeding the discourses and appearance of the
narratives, two value systems are shaped, which through their conflicts, the
dynamic semiotics discourse is provided, leading to tensional system, which
is analyzable based on the expansion and pressure values.
This research studies these texts by means of Greimas comparative
approaches, passing through semantic square to tensional square while
analyzing the type of discourse systems including prescriptive, manipulative
and incidental ones in these two poems.
This research Further tries to find out up to which point Persian narrative
poetry is cable of analyzing the discourse systems ruling over it.
Keywords: Semiotics, Discourse narrative, Arah Kamangir, Oghab,
