Abstract

Semiotics is the targeted study of the factors that are involved in the production and meaning of signs or the signification process. This science examines signs and their semantic relationship in a single syndrome system. Social semiotics, as one of the branches of semiotics, is one of the important approaches of attitude towards meaning, whose main goal is to find meaning from human behavior in social life. The novel, which is the place of representation of social events, is one of the most important and significant platforms for analyzing and finding meaning from the perspective of social semiotics. Jamshid and Jamek's research novel with the mythological narrative of Jamshid's life contains many social signs. In this research, by adopting the qualitative method, we have analyzed the semiotics of the ciphers in this novel. The obtained results show that, based on Pierre Giroud's point of view, signs related to identity such as sleep, place and food have implicit meanings such as "being seduced by the devil", "importance to people from Jamshid" and "the direct effect of food on the soul and personality of a person." And signs related to social etiquette, such as tones and idioms with the meaning of "informing and warning" are among the most used signs in this novel.
