Abstract

The story of Mehr & Mah is the story of oriental love of Mehr's for the western Mah and his departure to reach his beloved. The story is an extended pattern of Sonnet(Qazal)that adapts to the narrative structures and episodes of folk tales. It is a frozen discourse that has become a stereotype through repetitive use over time and has found its reconstruction and revival in combination with another form. which can be separately defined despite their entanglements. In other words, the sonnets within the narrative are separated from the story, but the homogenates that have derived meaning from abstract data on the surface of discourse have complicated the relationships between the signs. The narrative plan is based on plan-oriented action, and the sonnet is an emotional flow that pervades the entire discourse. By distinguishing the sonnet, as an emotional flow, and narrative, as a plan-based system, the semiotic analysis examines the function and interaction of both in the whole discourse. How have the metaphors of the sonnet changed the syntactic layer and the base layer by formulating the basic categories of semantics? Has the emotional genre been able to produce new indices by breaking language norms? The use of indices and metaphors of sonnets in the narrative has objectified the discourse of the sonnets, but this sensitization is inconsistent with the poetical and literary criticism of the Timurid and Safavid eras, which claims to be devoid of myth, because the central core of discourse is still based upon mythology.
