Abstract

Abstract:
Semiotic proceeds to investigate the hidden points of poetic texts and follows a network of textual relations using beneficial methodology in contemporary periodical criticism, and causes the dynamics of texts in critical reviews and identifies existing codes in linguistic structures and measures their flexibility with innovative concepts. Muhammad Afifi Matar is a great Egyptian poet, whose expression possesses a set of codes and ambiguous concepts that are often related to effective cognitive marks, which provides an excellent opportunity to review his poetry in various aspects, such as semiotics. Therefore, in the ode of ‘Don Quixote’s sufferings’, we chose the methodology of semiotics, till we step forwards with the help of it, within the boundaries of this circumstances and linguistic or non-linguistic effective cognitive diagnostics. The result of this research reveals that, the poet borrows most of his vocabulary from everyday life in order to achieve the expressive capabilities of the present ode, in order to reduce the pressure of his complex visual language and, on the other hand, to avoid direct statement, but still it plummets in a chain of paradoxes that create a huge gap between the tangible reality and his mental imaginations. The images used in this ode are summarized in terms of nature and terms which are related to it, although these images of the same language system are disarranged in the application of vocabulary and the way that we look at them. The poet’s thresholds play a major role in representing the manner in which the poet enters the text and brings him to the right end, and the aesthetic space of the text presents its own unique character through a variety of phrases and contrasts in the ode, so that it helps the overall coherence of the text by choosing the far and nearer vocabulary.
