The Structure of Expression in Ali Badr’s Novel the Musician of the Clouds Based on the Linguistic Communication Theory of Jacobson

Abstract

Modern linguistics has made significant progress in the study of language, and this development has led to a change in linguistic concepts in terms of communication tools in both linguistic and social contexts. This phenomenon has led to various interpretations of text and speech. Roman Jacobson is the main theorist of the theory of linguistic communication, which is the most important modern linguistic theory. He divides the linguistic and communication structure between individuals based on six elements of communication operations and six linguistic tools. These tools are studied according to the six elements. The study of modern novels is one of the important topics in literature and is a fruitful topic for study by researchers and critics. The novel is also one of those literary materials that is directly related to linguistic and social communication and also includes description and dialogue, so applying the style of communication tools to the novel is important in terms of literary criticism. In this descriptive-analytical study, the authors studied the novel the Musician of the Clouds by Ali Badr by presenting examples in which the accurate and very good use of an expression has been observed in the shadow of linguistic communication tools based on Jacobson's theory. The results showed that the descriptions and dialogues in the novel were appropriate for the purposes of our study l. An important result of the study was that the novel the Musician of the Clouds has a wide area in the field of linguistics. It was observed that dialogue is based on communication operations in terms of six theoretical principles as well as six communication tools. In this sense, it a balance between linguistic elements and communication tools has been created.
