The Semiotics of the Sign in “The Book” by Adonis

Abstract

This research deals with one of the semiotic topics that investigate the semantic purposes and objectives of the creative discourse, by tracing the semiotics of the sign in it. The research identifies its methodological framework with the semiotic approach of Barthes, and dedicates its topic to the book by the Syrian poet Ali Ahmed Saeed, the well-known (Adonis).Thus, the research problem is determined by the many signs and their arrangement system in sequences in the book by Adonis.

As for the importance of the research, it lies in the multiplicity of revelations, their abundance in the book, and their regularity in various sequences, through which La Adonis tries to shake the steadfastness of the Arab intellectual and stir the creative energies within him. In order to seek renewal and transcend the foundations upon which our reality is based, looking towards the unknown world full of dissonance and ambiguity.

Hence, the structure of the research was formed with a preamble and two topics. The preamble dealt with an introduction to the semiotics of the sign through Barth's semiotic approach. It was followed by the first topic devoted to the study of signs in the titles of the book in its three parts. The second topic dealt with the semantic sequences in the book, which were numerous and varied according to the type of signs that are organized by them.

Then she concluded the research with a conclusion showing the results of the research, followed by a list of research sources.

This attempt of mine comes within the framework of human attempts that are characterized by imperfection and imperfection, as perfection belongs to God alone, and this attempt is only a picture of investigating the truth sought by scientific research.
