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.

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.

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.

Structuralist criticism represents a significant branch of literary analysis that aims to uncover the structures and interrelations among various elements and rules within texts. 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.

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.
