Abstract

The sign-semantics is one of the new topics in literary criticism that has many uses in analyzing various types of texts as well as understanding how to produce and receive meaning. Nowadays, semiotics-semantics embraces domains beyond classical and constructivist semiotics. One of these domains is the narrative forms of discourse that appear in the form of discursive systems, in which signs are reminiscent of signs, and from common signs and clichés enter into ordinary signs and light. In this article, using the analytical-descriptive method, the components of the Prophet Moses (a) and Pharaoh have been studied. This story is due to the nature of narrative discourse, containing numerous and value-driven actions, and in this regard it is worth considering the sign-semantics of governing systems. In this research, the desirable hegemony of the Prophets, namely the communion and promotion of the righteousness and unity of God, is shown by means of sign-semantics. In this essay, various types of discourse systems such as system of action, emotional system and tension system, concepts of concept processing, message transmission and communication with the audience were evaluated in the story. It was shown how the Prophet, using discourse systems, explains the legitimacy of God and Rescues his people and heks the discourse of monotheism.
