Semiology is a knowledge that studies the sign systems, the process of interpretation, meaning and the truth hidden behind the codes, signs and symbols. This knowledge has considerable applications and functions in various areas of human relations. Literature, including children's literature is one of the most important of these areas. Using Roland Barrett's views, the present study tried to analyze the children's poems of Salman Harati with an analytical-descriptive method. The results show that Harati's poetry, due to its reference to various fields of natural and ideological elements, pristine, simple and intimate nature, outstanding temporal and spatial coordinates, as well as the scope of social themes and idealistic discourse, is able to produce various codes, and consequently various meanings and interpretations. Although these characteristics are directly related to the reader's abilities, they show that when assessed by the interpretation mechanisms of codes and analysis of other semiotic elements, Harati's poetry has a structured and thoughtful semantic structure. The action and effect of the logic of conversationalism in his poetry is another factor that provides the reader with space and the possibility of reproducing content in the process of semiotics and innertext and outertext interpretations. The narrative in Salman's poetry, as an integration factor of vertical axis, has produced a variety of codes. This process, with regard to the remarkable manifestation of the codes of narrative, hermeneutic and symbolic action, demonstrates the narrative capacity and the signifier nature of his poetry. Meta-examplar implications in Harati's poetry cause objective and clear associations and effectively involve metatext in the interpretation and analysis of signs.

Mathematical concepts including counting, comparing and the spatial value of numbers is one of the most fundamental fields that has many effects on individuals’ life. In the process of counting, the child must retrieve the phonetic representations of numerical words. This is possible through phonological working memory. In this research, the authors are trying to study the effect of phonemic awareness training on the performance of female students in the second grade of elementary school in the area of mathematical concepts.So the present study was done on 140 second grade female students of Quchan elementary school in the academic year of 1401-1402. 70 students were selected as the control group and 70 students were selected as the experimental group. The experimental group was exposed to phonological awareness training during 10 sessions of 30-35 minutes. A pre-test and a post-test were conducted from both groups both in the phonological awareness and mathematical concepts. The results showed that teaching phonological awareness skills in mathematical concepts has a significant effect on female students in the second grade of elementary school. Thus the results of the present study are in line with the results of other studies conducted in this field. But the different aspect of this research was the dividing of phonemic awareness skill based on age and just considering the field of mathematical concepts specifically. In this research, only the field of concepts has been discussed.

The present paper is an attempts to obtain the hierarchical Schematic system governing the formation of Sorani Kurdish exocentric nominal compounds an endeavor to achieve their general meaning making model via the application of analytical-descriptive method based on Booij's (2010) construction morphology framework. In the first phase (data collection) 1400 nominal compounds found in Kurdish-Persian dictionary of Hanbane Burina (Sharafkandi, 1991) and Persian-Kurdish dictionary of university of Kurdistan (2014). Data analysis phase initiated with the identification of exocentric nominal compounds among the provided corpus by making use Scalise and Goyura's (2011) hyponymy test beside two of the author's judgement as native speakers of Sorani Kurdish. Finally 842 instantiations or 60percent of whole found Exocentric. The obtained results showed that Sorani Kurdish exocentric compounds dominated by one Macro-Schema, 12 Second order-Schemas and 54 sub-Schemas. Results of the research can be counted as a proof for the fact that nominal compounds of this type neither in form nor in semantic specifications are not in total agreement with constituting elements. I other word the rupture of motivation and blockage of the relationship between form and meaning is not a general feature among all exocentric compounds while instantiations of this type cover a wide range of words with less dark meaning to absolutely dark lexical items. Accordingly Some of the nominal compounds don't benefited from formal head while the output constructions fall under Noun as their parts of speech thus it is the scheme which are effective both in determination of formal and semantic characteristics manifested in the output.

At the present study, some Morpho-phonological processes in Azeri Turkish, Zanjani Dialect were studied based on Optimality Theory (Prince & Smolenski, 1993). This was a descriptive-analytical study and was based on interviews with 30 native speakers (between 15 and 75 years old) of Zanjan in three groups of adolescents, Middle-aged, and the elderly (each group included 10 interviewees). Their voices were recorded and later on were transcribed. All the words were transcribed based on IPA, version 2005. In this study, constraints were identified and ranked. Those constraints which were of two kinds (markedness and faithfulness constraints) competed against one another to select the optimal candidate. Results illustrated that ONSET and HARMONY were considered as high-ranked constraints, whereas IDENT-IO constraint was considered as low-ranked one, the violation of which didn’t render the candidate non-optimal. It can also be concluded that morpho-phonological rules in Turkish Azeri, Zanjani Dialect could be analyzed via the optimality theory.

Research and investigation in authentic Farsi dialects is one of those researches that brings double pleasure for the researcher, and also the results obtained from it can be used as a guide for the cultural agents of the country and also open the way for further researches in this direction. Great Khorasan, which was the origin of Dari Persian language, is still Aziz. It has a unique feature, and it is far from the dialect of many cities of the province from extensive linguistic changes. The dialect of cities such as Gonabad, Qain, Taibad, Torbat Heydarieh is such that it has witnessed the least changes over time, and comparing the dialect and vocabulary of the people of these areas with written sources The 4th and 5th centuries are a proof of this claim. The research has been carried out carefully and carefully in a small part of the dialect of Bimorg village in Gonabad city, it shows the importance of time, its division and naming among the people of this region.
This research will show with what interesting methods the people of this region have done various divisions of time during the day and night as well as during the month and the year. Considering the occupation of the majority of the people of this region, which is agriculture and animal husbandry, there are good reasons for the way of division. It provides time and diversity. This research was carried out using a descriptive-analytical method, and observation and interview methods were used to collect information.

In this research, two dramatic texts written by Naghmeh Samini and the discourses in them are examined according to the hegemony of the time of production and consumption of the text. In this research, the play is not studied as a mere artistic text, but as a linguistic element that includes different discourses. Using the method of critical discourse analysis from Fairclough's point of view, the social practice of dramatic texts can be investigated. The selected texts are from Samini, both of which were able to be used in the society between 2004 and 2008, that is, at the same time as the fundamentalist government. This possibility includes performed in these years and being printed. The plays Sheklak and Khāb dar fenjān-e khāli are the texts that the author has produced in these years and form the statistical population of the current research. By using Fairclough's three-stage model, i.e. analyzing the text, finding the discourse practice, and finding the social practice, the result is that the ruling discourse of that time had an impact on the formation of texts, and at the same time, the discourses used by the author in the plays are based on the author's gender and some characteristics. It is far from the articulation of the hegemonic discourse of the time. Although the author tries to distance himself from hegemony by using linguistic tools, the extent of this distance and how ideology and power are reflected in the texts can be examined.
