Bu çalışma, Sorânî Kürtçesi ile Erbil Türk ağzında yer alan ikilemelerin, dil ilişkileri bağlamında incelenmesini amaçlamaktadır. Aynı coğrafyada uzun süredir bir arada yaşayan bu iki dilsel topluluğun, ikilemeler aracılığıyla nasıl bir etkileşim geliştirdiği araştırılmıştır. Nitel yöntemle yürütülen çalışmada; alan taraması, derleme analizi ve sözlü veri toplama teknikleri kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler, özellikle iki dil arasında karşılıklı olarak ödünçlenen kelimelerle oluşturulan ikilemelere ve Arapça ile Farsçadan alınan ortak sözcüklerle kurulan benzer ikilemelere odaklanmaktadır. Bulgular, her iki dilde de hem yerel kimliği yansıtan hem de ortak kültürel etkileşimi gösteren ikilemelerin bulunduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bu durum, dilsel ilişkinin yalnızca sözcük düzeyinde değil, kalıp yapılar ve anlatım biçimleri üzerinden de sürdüğünü göstermektedir. Sonuç olarak, Sorânî Kürtçesi ve Erbil Türk ağzındaki ikilemeler, kültürel ve dilsel etkileşimin canlı izlerini taşıyan yapılar olarak değerlendirilmektedir.

This study aims to examine the reduplications found in Sorânî Kurdish and the Erbil dialect of Turkish within the context of language contact. It explores how these two linguistic communities, who have coexisted in the same geographical area for a long time, have interacted through shared reduplicative structures. Conducted using a qualitative methodology, the research draws on field studies, corpus analysis, and oral data collection. The data primarily focus on reduplications formed through borrowed words exchanged between the two languages, as well as on similar reduplications created with Arabic and Persian loanwords. The findings reveal the presence of reduplications that reflect both local linguistic identity and shared cultural expressions. These results suggest that language contact between the two communities extends beyond vocabulary into recurring linguistic structures and stylistic forms. In conclusion, the reduplications in Sorânî Kurdish and the Erbil Turkish dialect are viewed as dynamic reflections of cultural and linguistic interaction.

I propose here a re-reading of and commentary on Structural Semantics focused on “The isotopy of discourse”. Greimas describes the organisation of discourse as a process of determining meaning based on a semantic equivalencemechanism for which lexicographical description (designation and definition) isthe model, and which is characteristic of the “metalinguistic functioning of discourse”. After setting this conception within the perspective of linguistic studiesof annotation, Greimas’s reasoning is carefully examined and the method, togetherwith the premises underlying it, is considered in the light of a semantics of enunciation (Culioli). Different avenues for investigating meaning thus emerge, basedon the limits of structural semantics and of what this leaves on the margins, whileat the same time carefully contriving openings.

From the reading of A.J. Greimas, Structural Semantics (1976), we approachthe method of analysis that this semiotician applies to the literary text. Greimasapplies models such as “The actantial model” and “The narrative scheme” to theliterary text. But these same models also apply to other semiotic manifestations.Consequently, Greimas’s analysis seems too general, neglecting several modelsby analyzing the literary text, such as the type of text, genre, and writing in theliterary sense of the latter term. The meaning does not make sense if we abstractthe text from any modalization.On the other hand, Greimas’ analyzes are relevant if we insert the literary textinto the universal form of meaning.

In the first part of this paper, we reassess the steps and the three main jumps, orruptures, responsible for the coming about of semiotic studies of narrativity: fromthe Proppian functions to narrative utterances; from the subject’s performanceto their competence and their competence and modal existence; from modalityto passions. In the second part, we point out the new paths and perspectives indevelopment. One main new proposal is considered here: the semiotic study ofpassions, which, having preconditions of meaning, resolve many of the difficultiesfaced in earlier semiotic treatments of passions and esthesis.

As an essential and inescapable element of every signifying and interpretablestructure, isotopy and its functioning were discovered by Greimas and were putin words for the first time in Structural Semantics (La Sémantique structurale -1966). It is possible today to consider one or several connotative isotopy/ies thatare constitutive of a signifying set.Our work deals with isotopy of virtuemes and subjectivemes in the context ofpassions. In order to illustrate our point of view we intend to analyse passions,more specifically the theme of “sadness” in Desbordes-Valmore’s poem “Don’twrite” (N’écris pas - 1860), focusing on Parret’s research The Passions: Essayon the Setting into Discourse of Subjectivity. (Les Passions. Essais sur la mise endiscours de la subjectivité. - 1986)

Greimas talks about his choice of the French language in relation to Flaubert’s“writing of steel.” Similarly, the conceptual and analytical edifice of StructuralSemantics gives a materiality to the form of content that can also be called “ofsteel”. We will question this material sensitivity which commands the scientificreconstruction of semantism, and we will consider it as a poetic. In fact, thisapproach sets free the interpretive potentialities of the text from their enclaves ofessence, making them strictly descriptive while assuming their inevitable role ofellipsis and imperfection. On this basis and within the framework of StructuralSemantics, we will examine the passage, from analytic construction to literaryexpression and, in particular, to “L’imaginaire de Bernanos” studied by TahsinYücel.

Our objective is to attempt to study the functioning of modalities, first in Structural semantic (Sémantique structurale), then in Semiotic of passions (Sémiotiquedes passions), going through The Sens II (Du sens II). The study of modalitiesis better situated not only in the first book of Greimas, but also in the writingsthat come after, in the sense that they constitute a development and a refunding.The more Greimas elaborates the theory of semiotic, the more he deepens andimproves the study of modalities. The evolution of semiotic and the evolution ofmodalities go simultaneously.

This paper focuses exclusively on the specific nature of the semiotic projectdeveloped in Greimas’s Structural Semantics, a project which needs to be distinguished from the rest of the semiotician’s work. The aim, in short, is to establish that the driving force of this text, from both the epistemological and heuristicviewpoints, is based on three descriptive categories: text, genre and corpus, whichopen up the perspective, not of textual or discourse semiotics, but of corpus semantics.

We defend the idea that meaning is no longer manifested in relations of contradiction or contrariety but instead in relations of homology, as well as in thetranslation of meaning. The translation requires a spatial anchoring and an extension from a category A to a category A’, by lateral deployment as it is the casein mathematics. The translative structure thus implies the transfer of propertiesand semiotic traits from the initial category to the final category: Such a narrativestructure manifests itself precisely in Borgès, in the new title Le Jardin aux sentiersqui bifurquent.

To emphasize the theoretical strength of the narrative model of Greimas’ semiotics, in honor of the fifty years of his Sémantique structurale (1966), this textpresents brief reflections on two of its potentialities still little explored by semioticians, their followers. It is the status of “anthropology of the human imaginary”, imaginary as “flesh” and not as “cognition” (Petitot), to be explored intwo aspects: (i) the “pulsional” aspect for the “thymic” regime of narrativity; (ii)the aspect of a “semiotic narrative” entering the horizon of anthropology, in thebroad debate on the great narratives of anthropogenesis.

Structural semantics is the first book by Greimas where the foundations ofthe semiotic concepts such as the isotophy, the semiotic square, the narration,and the actantial model are established. Greimas has two models as the basisof his studies: basic structures and narration. The first consists of the semioticsquare and structural model, the latter structured sequences and modalities.Theactantial model that can theoretically be used to analyse the actants syntacticallyis grounded on two seminal works. These are Propp’s Morphology of Folk Talesand Souriau’s 20000 Dramatic Situations. At the centre of the Actantial Modelthere is the axis of desire which is not adequate to account for the production ofmeaning, that is why   the modalities and modalisation play a crucial role in  thesemiotics of passion.

In the context of the theoretical debates of the 1960s and 70s, the notion ofideology was confined to the sphere of politics and associated with the idea ofdomination and alienation. Assuming a negative meaning, the term was often usedas an accusation: ideology was seen as a pathology that must be cured (FrancfortSchool, Aron, Arendt). Against this background, the Greimasian semiotic approachimplies that ideology is less of an evil or a deviation than a normal and inevitablesocial phenomenon – even more, a basis for any purposeful and value-investedhuman action. Although Greimas’s narrative semiotics uses the term in a strictlymetalinguistic sense, its significance transcends grammatical technicalities. It offers what Geertz was looking for – a nonevaluative approach. Leaving aside allmoral, accusatory or pejorative connotations of the term, it makes ideology ananalytical tool.
