| Summary: | Through the excessive application of pictorial and compounding qualities of the alphabet letters, Rumi has versified very beautiful poems in his Divan, Shams-e Tabrizi. A well-documented study of Rumi’s poetry based on comprehensive theories to unravel what cultural elements have influenced his literal attitudes is largely lacking. In response to this shortcoming, the present study aims at investigating the semiotics of literal attitudes in Rumi’s literal poems. Peirce’s semiotics theory is closely related to the prevalent rhetorical criticism in Persian language, but it has a higher interpretative potentiality to yield a more scientific conclusion. This study investigated pierce’s well-known triad of icon, index, and symbol along with their semiotic process of evolution in Shams-e Tabrizi Divan. The results showed that there are three semiotic processes in Shams-e Tabrizi Divan, namely, Singular, Lineal and Involved. It was concluded that the semiotics of alphabet letters in Shams-e Tabrizi Divan is mostly attributed to its content and interpretation. |
