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.

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

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.

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.

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.
