Discourse-centered structures that possess a broad interpretation are comprised of both semantic components and signs. The meaning of these semantic signs is derived from a confluence of behavioral actions and interactive elements. The platform in question exemplifies the notion of multimodal composition within discourse flows, as originally introduced by Kress in a pioneering manner. According to Kress, the meticulous examination of discourse flows is deemed to be subject to the distinct scrutiny of three trans-role elements, namely the representational, interactive, and compositional components. The narrator assumes a trans-representational role by analyzing narrative components that encompass physical, cognitive, and behavioral patterns. The examination of communication flow analysis is further elucidated by the interactive features of functional forms of speech. The composite representation facilitates the composition of narrative components with interactive features. The present study employed a descriptive-analytical approach to compare the trans-role elements in the discourse space between the agents of action (actors), as depicted in novel by Amal Faran (2021). The present literary work possessed the potential to undergo adaptation and scrutiny through the lens of Kress's trans-role components, owing to the mode of communication and social environment among linguistic entities. Upon analysis of the discursive content of Chamber novel, it can be inferred that the narrative framework involves individual interactions that align with behavioral and emotional processes, manifested through functional speech groups. These interactions provide information that highlights the prevalence of various types of interactive objects, such as questioning, judging, and suggestions regarding the characteristic of language agents.

Khuzestan Arab natives have inherited their culture and thoughts from the Arab community and the rest of their neighboring ethnicities, resulting in a rich and valuable linguistic and cultural background through this two-way interaction. Research in their language and culture, especially proverbs, reveals many issues related to Iranian Arab women worthy of deeper investigation to arrive at their ideological stance towards gender. These women are in fact mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters who have a high status in many proverbs and are referred to with good traits. In contrast, some proverbs accuse women to be malicious, simple-minded, weak, cunning, and deceitful.This research aimed at analyzing the discourse of the Arab proverbs of Khuzestan natives using Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis approach and a field-analytical method. The findings show that Khuzestan society, like many other societies, uses proverbs to reproduce the various relations between social system elements such as family, ethnicity, marriage and power and has portrayed women in positive, negative, simultaneously positive and negative, and sometimes neutral ways. In this discourse, men hold the power, and prioritize some women over other women considering their social roles and statuses. In the Arab proverbial discourse of Khuzestan, the female element, especially mothers and sisters, has been viewed positively, while some of the proverbs based on kinship, emphasize gender discrimination and inequality.

Literary semiotics as a literary criticism method deals with the implication structure of literary works and analyzes the world inside the text to express the role of linguistic signs in the making and production of meanings of a literary work. Peirce’s theory of semiotics is a critical method for analyzing poetic works that divide signs into three parts of representation, subject and interpretation. In this theory, the concept of sign and its final form is made of three components. Mohammad Adam, the Egyptian poet, is a modern poet who largely represents the concept of death in his poems and assumes a major role in the signs which his poetic themes about death. The present article uses Peirce’s theory of semiotics and the basics of the semiotics of codes to analyze the signs pertaining to the concept of death in the poems of Mohammad Adam and to reveal clear and laten aspects of his poetics. Research data suggest that man represents poetic images and visible states such as falling off the rocks and large spiders, deep cliffs, etc. to create his textuality and to expand the concept of signs related to death by means of the subjects and details and enumerating some features of death like being terrifying and unknown. In the end, he fulfills the concept of the sign by means of interpretation and expresses his general attitude to the category of death and life, thus unveiling the voidness, pessimism and nihilism of his beliefs about the world to come.

Conceptual metaphor is one of the new linguistic tools in linguistics and it is a linguistic technique based on the relationship between language and cognition that creates many abstract concepts. The book the metaphors we live by revolutionized the science of cognitive linguistics and linguistic research. and The conceptual metaphor technique plays an important role in linguistic studies because it is a mental process before a linguistic process. Based on this technique, writers and poets can better illustrate abstract concepts As we have seen, Faliha Hassan has used a conceptual metaphor as a linguistic technique in her book (yā ʾummī). Because the poet in this book is about human and social concepts and has used metaphors to deepen the meanings, and express the concepts of war, separation, feelings and emotions, disaster, soul, time and love. This point caught our attention and we studied the structure of conceptual metaphors in the book (yā ʾummī) based on a descriptive-analytical approach We came to the conclusion that the poet has used conceptual metaphors in three types: structural, ontological and directional and has used a variety of methods; and expresses his thoughts and especially his feelings through various methods of conceptual metaphor. Relying on innovation and creating new metaphors, the poet expresses his ideas and especially his feelings, and paints a clear picture of what makes him sad or happy. Influenced by Faliha Hassan's gender and gentle spirit, we saw that the poet relied on the elements of nature to express his bittersweet feelings.

The conversational requirement of Grice presents an implicit interpretation of the speaker's ability to express a subject instead of just saying it. In most conversations, colloquial meaning requires the speaker's words more than the conversational meaning. In this way, the speaker relies on linguistic skills when explaining the purpose in their words through the techniques used in their speech. Speakers use conversational requirements, which is a linguistic phenomenon. This linguistic phenomenon reflects the relation between the level of mixed linguistic structure and the level of that structure exposed to possible reasoning interpretation, either positive or negative. Conversational requirement aims to discover the linguistic code and the meaning beyond the words to find what the speaker means. We relied on the descriptive-analytical method, which is proper for this academic research allowing us to discover, describe, analyze, and interpret truths. Therefore, the theoretical part addressed the conversational requirement, cooperation principle, and its conditions, and implemented this theory on some verses of Al-Insan (The Man) Surah in the comparative section of the study. The results of this study from analyzed verses of Al-Insan Surah indicated that these verses include both literal meanings, such as commanding, prohibiting, and informing, and conversational meanings, which are seen as advising, promising and warning, punishing and encouraging, or challenging the audience. These conversational meanings are perceived from the external context of verses. Context plays a vital role in helping the audience understand what is the purpose and meaning of the speaker's words. According to analyzed verses, the speaker

The discussion of I and its confrontation with other or "except I" is one of the oldest and most fundamental topics of cognitive sciences, especially philosophy. In the new philosophy, this issue has been specially noticed by theorists. In the meantime, “Martin Heidegger” has revealed new and deep details of it with his hermeneutical phenomenology method. Although his fake and vague language and phrases have made it difficult to understand his views, But in the reading of the philosophers after him, universal details such as being, existence and its relationship with self, other and the world have been revealed. This research seeks to explore the relationship of Dasein or the same entity with the other in the novel “I lead You to My Other” by Aicha Arnaout Arnaout, a Syrian-Albanian poet and writer, by using the thought and methodology of this German philosopher. The results obtained from the analytical descriptive method of this article show that Arnaut did not create her plot without paying attention to Heidegger's point of view. Because her novel, which is the subject of I and the other is obvious from the title, can be adapted under the »Mitsein«, »Mitdasein«, »Interpretive discourse«, »Solicitude« and »Falling«; The components that have given coherence to the encounter between Dasein and the other; The categories that are configured in the relationship of “Maryam” -the hero of the story- with the main and secondary characters of the novel.

The new readings of Bakhtin's neo-thinking approach inspired the theory of "dialogism" through the representation of co-persuasive layers in the space of pluralism and polyphonic heterogeneity of the novel.Chronotope, due to temporal-spatial fusions and creating analogies between the time and places of the characters of the text world, as well as its comparative adaptation to the situations of the extra-textual audience, lays the groundwork for the negation of absolute one-sidedness and the creation of a dialectical but dialogical world in the novel and is analyzed, according to Bakhtin's classification, in the form of sub-sections such as "encounter", "road", "salon" and "threshold". In order to study the chronotopic topics, with the method of content analysis in a descriptive-analytical way, the authors have used the creation of various temporal-spatial continuities in the novel "Neighboring Lives" as a context for familiarizing with how to promote dialogic concepts such as pluralism, diversity and opposing the claim of finality and self perfectionism in the text world. By using types of chronotopes, Barrade has emphasized the flow of chronotopic concepts such as probability, coincidence, intersection, tension of emotions and values, etc. It promotes dialogical topics such as negation of a single-choice world, the possibility of convergence and incontrovertible comparability of different conditions and destinies and frame-fleeing companionship. He leads the overflow of consciousness in the duality of writer's chronotope/reader's chronotope to a cognitive dialogue about the relativity and multifaceted reality of human conditions.

he methods of Arabic rhetoric have included important means of indirect artistic images, which are considered means of expressing meanings through various metaphorical connotations, as a single idea can be performed in different styles and multiple methods of performance with different changes that may include increases and decreases in meanings and the construction of words. When the way in which words are constructed changes, the pictorial meanings change accordingly. Islamic poets have adopted many creative graphic methods to draw wonderful artistic images, including the methods of metaphor, simile, and metonymy, which are characterized by their beauty, giving excitement to the poetic text, and the dimension of the vision they aim for, and are described as More beautiful and deeper than real styles, as it has influential revelations that attract the attention of the recipient and shake his feelings and conscience, as it pulsates with the feelings, thoughts and emotions of the creators.
In this research, we have relied on the descriptive analytical method in studying rhetorical methods in Islamic poetry until the year 41 AH, and we found that both persuasion and poetic eloquence are distinguished by the fact that they are essential in the science of literature and language, and that the use of pilgrims in Islamic poetry is an important literary phenomenon that shows the ability Islamic poets are able to use rhetorical tools to express their ideas and convince the recipient of their point of view, and they used them extensively in their poetry.

The novel is widely considered a literary genre that profoundly embodies reality, often described as a mirror reflecting the world around us. This reflection is crystallized through its connections with society, capturing social, political, and historical dimensions, along with a deep portrayal of psychological dimensions. The novel “The Murder of the “Bookseller” was published in 2016, written by Saad Muhammad Rahim, and was shortlisted for the International Prize for Arabic Fiction in 2017.
In his research on the psychological narrative in the aforementioned novel, the researcher applied a descriptive-analytical approach, concluding that the novel addresses psychological conflicts and inner emotional struggles, including love, remorse, injustice, sadness, and crying. The author embodies these conflicting emotions within the character of the bookseller “Mahmoud Al-Marzouq.” Identity fragmentation violates the constraints of the traditional narrative structure by drawing on memories associated with the “Al-Sharad Association.” The novel guides each narrative toward self-disclosure, where each holds itself accountable, exposing its intellectual and subjective contradictions in relation to society and history. The main character in the novel, Al-Marzouq, occasionally experiences mental stupor and delirium, particularly after consuming large amounts of sugar.
Novelist Muhammad Rahim employed a psychological setting, particularly an open setting, to reveal both the intellectual and psychological nature of his characters and himself. I often use the phrase “the place is with me” since he locks himself in his own fantasies and delusions, leaving others unaware of what unfolds in his psychological place. He describes the city as being suffocated by blood and devastation. He may turn to daydreaming because the reality he faces is dull and unappealing or because he believes he can attain wealth through imagination that eludes him in real life. He also uses internal monologue to reflect his loneliness and detachment from society.

Some of the methods that are used to analyze literary texts and understand its depth and hidden aspects deal with the text from the inside. Since the immanent approach interprets various issues from the inside, methods such as structuralism, stylistics, semiotics, and poetics, which consider the text as a linguistic structure independent of external factors, have an immanent approach. According to Todorov, poetics is the knowledge that deals with those abstract features that make a literary event unique. In other words, the aim of poetics is to know the general rules that create a literary text within literature. Todorov studies poetics as a method for literary text analysis at four levels: semantic expression, word registers, verbal expression, and syntactic expression. The present research aims to examine the ode "Qabr Al-arz" by Mohammad Ali Shamsuddin (1942-2022), a Lebanese poet. In order to know the technical characteristics of the mentioned ode, this research is based on the descriptive-analytical method and based on Todorov's boutique theory.The most important findings of the research indicate that the narrative structure of the ode "The Tomb of the Earth" has made it possible to analyze this ode based on Todorov's boutique approach. The most important findings of the research indicate that the narrative structure of the ode "The Tomb of the Earth" has made it possible to analyze it on Todorov's boutique approach. The poet uses relationships based on absence at the level of semantic expression and at the level of verbal contexts, he uses ascribes verbs to subjects with various degrees of abstraction, as well as repetition, antithesis, imagery of the type of gradual change and multi-valued speech. At the level of verbal expression, he also uses direct style, time change and time suspension. At the level of syntactic representation, the relationship between the units is of the type of ideological story and the spatial relationships that determine the structure of the text.

The concepts of "non-existence," "death," and "nothingness" have long been fundamental in mysticism and Sufism, which have evolved to take on different nuances today. Death and non-existence represent the highest qualities of a human being in mysticism, elevating them to sublime states. Despite the proliferation of materialistic and humanistic discussions in contemporary mysticism and philosophy, the notions of death and non-existence persist strongly among spiritualists and modern philosophical theorists. Notably, Meister Eckhart, one of the most influential figures in contemporary spirituality, has extensively addressed the theme of non-existence in his renowned works. Through his views and writings, he emphasizes concepts such as selflessness, poverty, detachment, and transcendence. Recognizing the significance of this discourse and its reflections in contemporary Arabic poetic texts, this paper endeavors to analyze these principles in the poetry of Wadih Sa'adeh, a prominent and innovative Lebanese poet. Drawing from mystical, surrealist, nihilist, and Cartesian philosophical sources, Sa'adeh has conferred broad significance upon the concept of non-existence in his poetry. The article seeks to correlate the theoretical foundations of Meister Eckhart's ideas with the relationship between Wadih's poetry and the concept of Eckhartian non-existence. The research findings indicate that Wadih Sa'adeh has incorporated various elements and characteristics of an exalted and Eckhartian mortal human in his poetry, although his thematic emphasis deviates from the divine aspect

Yusef al-Saba'i (1917-1978) is one of the contemporary Egyptian storytellers. He has depicted the problems of Egyptian society in his stories and novels. Because in the novel Arz al-Nafaq, Al-Sabai has well depicted the moral and social problems and corruptions of his society in the fantasy genre through a problematic hero; Therefore, we decided to analyze this hero based on Lucien Goldman's sociological approach with a descriptive and analytical method. The result of this research shows that the author himself, as a problematic character who cannot find a way to revive moral values and virtues in his ruined society, is a hero from among the middle class of society, in a context similar to his own society. He creates positive that has internal dissatisfaction and emotional longing for direct attainment of transpersonal qualitative values; Therefore, he observes social problems and moral vices, especially hypocrisy and hypocrisy, in different classes of his devalued society and deals with these problems in a degraded way, that is, by consuming moral elixirs, but with all His efforts to reform his degraded society were disappointed and failed and he was rejected from the society. Therefore, he is forced to drink the elixir of morality to the people of his society in any way possible, so that the society is freed from any hypocrisy, lies, and deceit, and the people live comfortably and comfortably.

The family is the foundational social institution significantly shaped by the dominant belief systems and values within society. In daily interactions, individuals' linguistic knowledge is complemented by their perspectives on the surrounding environment, influencing their speech; hence, language can be regarded as a reflection of both culture and speaker discourse. This study aims to delineate the status of women in Omani society through an analysis of dialogues among narrator-protagonists in "Sandrella Al Muscat," authored by Huda Hamed (1981), employing Dell Hymes' model as a framework. The novel was chosen for its emphasis on women's conditions and its portrayal of ordinary scenes that may initially appear inconspicuous; nevertheless, these everyday moments effectively reveal deeper layers of their previously unrecognized lives. Hymes' model incorporates eight dimensions—namely, temporal and spatial context, participants involved, communicative intent, discourse organization, tone, discourse instruments, and type of discourse—facilitating comprehensive text analysis. This approach emphasizes a detailed examination of dialogues present within the narrative. The significance of this research lies in its potential contributions to understanding the communicative positions within discourse contexts, enabling other scholars to apply this methodology for textual and contextual analysis. Accordingly, all dialogues from the narrator-protagonists were selected as a representative sample and subsequently categorized and analyzed according to Hymes' eight dimensions. Findings reveal that the theme of "inequality" predominates within the interactions among female characters in this narrative. The Cinderellas depicted in Huda Hamed's work diverge significantly from conventional fairy tale fantasies. The speech patterns, conversational turn-taking dynamics, and dominant tones reinforce historical male supremacy while illustrating its persistence within Omani Arab society

An understanding of contemporary semantic methodologies and their applicability to religious texts allows readers to gain deeper insights into the layers of meaning derived from the speaker's intent; however, not all modern semantic approaches are suitable for religious texts. Categorization, a topic within cognitive linguistics, investigates how vocabulary expands semantically through radial network theory in discourse contexts, focusing on "text semantics" by exploring different textual layers. The radial network centers around a core meaning known as a prototype. This study analyzes and critiques the abstract notion of contemplation within the semantic framework of Nahj al-Balagha by employing a descriptive-analytical methodology alongside a synchronic semantic perspective that emphasizes relational semantics. Since contemplation is classified as one of human cognitive actions, understanding its associated semantic network is crucial. Findings indicate that in Nahj al-Balagha, contemplation can be examined through both direct and indirect approaches, with componential analysis showing variability based on specific instances. Foresight and considerations about life's end are central meanings for both contemplation and management. These terms embody abstract concepts within their contexts, acquiring referential significance, especially in "management of martyrs" and "management of eunuchs." The adaptability of contemplation reflects its fluidity in meaning, while the lexical expansion of management surpasses that of contemplation, existing within consensual and oppositional clusters

The field of social semiotics, a branch of semiotics, focuses on revealing concealed meanings within texts. Pierre Guiraud, a notable theorist in this discipline, distinguishes between two categories of social signs: those related to identity and those pertaining to social etiquette. Given their intrinsic link to society, social novels are rich in such signs. In Dafatir al-Warraq (Notebooks of the Bookseller), the narrative highlights injustices prevalent in Jordanian society, portraying the anguish endured by marginalized individuals oppressed by powerful figures. The author aims to depict issues such as poverty, corruption, and unemployment—common afflictions faced by many in the Third World. This study seeks to clarify the social signs present in Dafatir al-Warraq, authored by Jalal Barjas, through the lens of Pierre Guiraud's social semiotic theory, employing a descriptive-analytical approach. Findings reveal that Barjas effectively incorporates both identity signs and elements of social etiquette to illustrate various economic, cultural, and social challenges within Jordanian society. Notably, specific identity markers—such as clothing, food choices, and professions—alongside certain aspects of social etiquette like speech tone—have proven particularly impactful in conveying societal disparities. In signs such as place, occupation, non-verbal signs and tone of speech, Barjas has been able to establish harmony between these signs with the economic and social standings of the characters and illustrate their reciprocal effects on one another.

of Prophet Moses(pbuh) which includes various topics and how he interacts with others or some social challenges.The main problem in this research is to analyze the conceptual metaphors of the story of Prophet Moses(pbuh) with the approach of Likaf's cognitive linguistics with analytical-descriptive method and with the aim of knowing more precisely the abstract concepts used in this story.Based on the findings of the research, in the verses describing the story of Prophet Moses(pbuh), the above directional metaphor(above) is used to conceptualize mastery, the safe directional metaphor(right) is used to onceptualize goodness and blessing, the directional metaphor is left(left) to conceptualize being evil, the directional metaphor Amam(front) and Khalaf(back) are used to conceptualize the future, and the directional metaphor behind(back) is used to conceptualize inattention.Also, in the conceptual metaphor section of ontology, 141 verses have the metaphor of a material phenomenon, the highest frequency of which is in Surah Taha.The metaphor of the inner container with the letter"fi" also includes 39 verses, the most frequent of which is in two surahs, Taha and Qasas.In the 13th verse of the story of Prophet Moses(pbuh), the derivatives of"Dahl" and"Kharj" are used for the metaphor of container.The metaphor of personalization is also used in 16 verses about the story of Prophet Moses(pbuh).Also, conceptual metaphors have been used in the structural part in three forms: the metaphor of playfulness, the metaphor of life as a journey, and the metaphor of seeing to know.

The theory of functional syntax of Ahmed Al-Mutawakkil in the twentieth century was influenced by functional linguistics. This theory considers the unit of syntax analysis of the text as a part of speech that expresses the intentions of the speakers’ discourse. Functional syntax studies speech structures at three levels: semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic. The pragmatic level is the most important aspect of this theory because it has a fundamental function in producing meaning and constructing discourse. This research, which followed the descriptive analytical approach, attempted to explain the most important aspects of functional syntax and the extent of its application to religious texts. To achieve this goal, the thirty-first epistle of Nahj al-Balagha was chosen as the research corpus. Among the results reached: The focus plays the most important role, and the accumulation of the focus expresses the cognitive aspect of the message and the verbal effort to build a religious identity. The focus also plays a fundamental role in establishing the meaning, determining the scope of the discourse, and creating a conclusion for the discourse. In this message, the communicative preacher, in addition to the communicative role, plays a major role in casting the structure and weaving the discourse. Descriptive tail, according to pragmatic reasons to Imam Ali’s words, it is applicable. Also, due to the large focus of the message, there is no trace of the beginning of the theme in it.

Literary theorists contend that readers view texts as they are presented; however, Norman Holland posits that readers engage in the automatic processing of words throughout the narrative and are actively involved with literary texts rather than being passive recipients. They employ literary works as a means to symbolize and ultimately reconstruct their identities, initiating a process of creating new narratives in their minds informed by their schemata and previous experiences. Therefore, a reader's comprehension of a text does not reside solely within that text; rather, it emerges after a physical representation of the text is established in the brain. It is through these neural constructs that a connection between internal and external realities is forged. The novel "Tghreebat al-Ghaafir" (The Water Diviner), authored by Zahran Alqasmi and published in 2021, serves as the focal point for this essay. The analysis explores three theoretical-cognitive elements: engagement, dual experience, and regression, as they relate to this particular novel. Furthermore, it highlights Holland's contributions from cognitive linguistics regarding how readers interpret and are affected by the narrative progression. Analyzing this novel through a cognitive framework reveals that its episodes pose challenges due to an imbalance in narrative structure and the concurrent arrangement of active and passive actions; these elements engage the reader's active mind throughout the storyline, facilitating identification with characters and encouraging adherence to their behavioral patterns to fulfill personal desires and needs during the reading experience.

Among the most significant structural elements of articles are the abstract and Introductions, that convey a clear message of its content to the audience. So, this study evaluates 67 articles from the journal Lesān-E Mobeen published between 2010 and 2020 by planned questionnaire on the base of structural evaluation of lectures. Research result indicates that article structure didn’t have consistent structure at history̦ research procedure. One of the main reasons for this isn’t transparency in the rules of writing articles and the authors' reliance on their own information. from 2019 onwards at structural components abstracts and introductions have improved. Among the main reasons is the systematic explanation of the structure of the article in the authors' guide section and editorial accuracy to submissions for peer review, which has effected on the journal’s classification and general ranking.

Roland Barthes (1915-1980), a foundational figure in structuralism, introduced an analytical framework known as the "five narrative codes," which explores the action, enigma, connotation, cultural context, and symbolic layers present in literary works. This study endeavors to examine the structure of Hoda Barakat's novel Bareed Al-Layl through a descriptive-analytical lens grounded in Barthes' theory. A key finding from this analysis is the clarification of how Barakat utilizes sub-narratives presented through correspondence to shape character development and address social issues such as war and refugee experiences. The research also highlights deficiencies in effective patterns at both familial and societal levels, alongside themes of obedience and deprivation that contribute to creating imbalanced personality traits within the protagonist. Furthermore, it was observed that in the initial story of Bareed Al-Layl, Barakat occasionally enhances her educational themes using proverbs, religious beliefs, and colloquial expressions.

Interdisciplinary research of literature in the context of linguistics and semiotics leads to the reading of the connotation layers of texts, which among the modern strategies of poetry criticism, the semiotics model of Michael Riffateere is so effective. It is reader-oriented and grounded based on the reader's view. The signs of the text and the intra-textual signs of the poem are perceived in the semantic continuum, and the meanings are analyzed by exploratory and retroactive reading. This thesis tries to investigate the ode "Evacuation Day" semantic clusters and foundations using the descriptive-analytical method and relying on the pattern of the semiotics of Rifatterre. Therefore, he implications of the poetic language are represented by exploratory reading, understanding the apparent meaning, and by retroactive reading, so that the hypogram, structural matrix of the ode. Results suggest five accumulations "the passage of time, stability and unity of compatriot, foreigners, the Arab nation and Egypt" shows the main meaning of the ode, and three descriptive poems «the day of withdrawal, hatred, and anger against the enemies«, and the political situation depicts the mind-space of the poet. Its hypogram is expressed with centered- the promise of happiness and victory after enduring hardship, and alien colonization. According to the structural matrix, victory against enemies is promised, and in the following, by emphasizing the expression of humiliation and torment of the Egyptians, this thesis shows the domination of aliens and popular revolt, at last, implies the happiness.

The description has a significant position in narrative studies and is used for pausing and stopping the narration, reducing its speed, which sometimes results in the disturbed temporal rhythm of the novel. This element has been used for many functions, including aesthetical, passive-emotional, interpretive, and other functions in the novel “Hekayeh Bahhar” by Hanna Mina, the Syrian novelist. This study collects and describes different types of description functions through the descriptive method and investigates and analyzes the goals of these functions in the novel based on the analytical method. In these functions, the descriptive aspect dominates over the narrative aspect within various types of descriptions based on different phrases. The research result confirms that the semantic-interpretative function of description in this novel is used to illustrate the physical and mental traits of characters and examine the elements of place; moreover, aesthetical decorative function in it has been applied through romantic and decorative metaphors and analogies for describing the nature, coast, and sea. Moreover, the rhythmic function in this novel has been used to create anxiety and confusion, and its amphibological function is to persuade the reader of the realism of the events. All of the functions mentioned for description have been realized through investigation of the Syrian community, people and their problems, the lives of sailors, and entertaining readers through the text. The objective of description in this novel is to create and firm the interpretative-semantic frameworks in most cases.

The Quran, as a book, has propositions. Examining the meaning of these propositions is one of the tasks of "Philosophy of Language". One of the tendencies of this philosophy in the contemporary century, which examines the meaning of religious statements, is Wittgenstein's philosophy of language. He presented two theories of "early Wittgenstein" and "late Wittgenstein" about the meaning of propositions.. Simile is one of the most common issues and one of the most used rhetorical devices in the Holy Quran for various purposes. This research works - due to the frequency of similes in the Holy Quran - to study selected similes in Surat Al-Baqarah through the descriptive-analytical method and the statistical method, based on Wittgenstein's theories. The research concluded in its study of the seven selected proverbs in Surat Al-Baqarah according to the theory of "early Wittgenstein" that only "the similes" have significance, since the similes are intangible elements while the simile is included among the main and specific pillars that can be included in the circle of experimental tests. As for the theory of "late Wittgenstein", all issues have significance, but this significance is dual in two aspects; First, they are significant because they are found in language games, and second, they are significant for every speaker, even for speakers of a non-religious language. To put it more precisely, it is impossible to reject the significance of these propositions even if the propositions are rejected formally. Moreover, the Qur’an describes the similes in a way that is consistent with human nature and does not belong to a particular era.

The senses are gateways to knowledge acquired from the external world, with sensory examination serving as the key to understanding through touch, taste, smell, visual perception of dimensions, shapes, and colors, and the hearing of sounds. There can be no knowledge without intellect, and no intellect without senses. Given that the senses are the mind's tools, it becomes evident why honing, refining, and cultivating them demands attention. The more one develops and expands their sensory capabilities, the more they can enhance their emotional experience. This is particularly noticeable in poets whose work demonstrates extensive sensory engagement.Using descriptive and analytical methods, this study examines the sensory elements and their role in the poetic consciousness of our blind poet, Al-Tutili. The findings reveal that sensory perception plays a pivotal role in his poetry as cognitive tools compensating for his loss of sight and intensifying his emotional experience. Despite his blindness, he successfully creates a visual world that deeply reflects his feelings through a style that makes readers feel the tension between the beauty of poetic imagery and the sorrow of loss. When vision is absent, it transforms into heightened auditory sensitivity as a fundamental alternative, enabling him to convey his emotional and cognitive experiences profoundly. Meanwhile, he activates touch to construct precise sensory and visual images, revealing the texture of objects as a powerful perceptual tool. The combination of smell and taste creates a unique sensory and emotional duality that adds striking synesthetic imagery to his poetry. The senses integrate in his poetry, emerging as key knowledge gateways that enhance his poetic awareness and open rich horizons for his artistic and poetic experience, making his poetry a reflection of complete sensory awareness that mirrors his rich emotional depth

The widespread wave of immigration and the emergence of colonialism has led to a new genre in world literature, known as "Diaspora Literature" and "Postcolonial Literature." In this type of literature, the author usually deals with identity crises and the consequences caused by this phenomenon. With the expansion of diaspora studies in academia, researchers have discovered common features in immigrant identities. Many theorists such as Edward Said, Stuart Hall, Homi Bhabha, and Gayatri Speake have dedicated their studies to this field, and many writers from different cultures have created prominent works in this emerging literary genre. InaamKachechi is one of the novelists who is of Iraqi origin and lives in France. 'The Outcast' by her is the story of three characters named Taj Al-Muluk, Mansour al-Badi, and Wadian, who each go through the experience of immigration in a different way than the others. The relationships between the characters in this novel are completely derived from their relationship with the host land and the motherland; For this reason, these multifaceted connections become very meaningful in the analysis of this work.
