Abstract EN

Linguistic signs refer to structures that have been present in human speech, both Arabic and non-Arabic, since the dawn of time and special attention is given to its multiple meanings, in various ways and at different levels.

in this regard, the linguistic sign, with its two components, namely "the signified", which is the abstract word, and the word itself, i.e.

"the signifier", is directly related to the meaning and semantics in the Arabic heritage that the ancients used in their speeches, poetry and prose, promoting it without knowing that it would one day become an autonomous science, the science of signs, in spite of the multitude of denominations and the divergences in terminology.

Our ambition in this article is to explore contemporary Algerian narrative discourse in search of linguistic signs in order to interpret and analyze them from a narrative semiotic perspective ; by the titles or through the terms and symbols used in some contemporary Algerian novels, including the novels Ez-Zilzel (the earthquake) by Taher Ouettar, (Azzouz the corporal) by Marzak Bagtache and (the Caledonian ghost and Khiera and the mountains) by Mouhamed Meflah.
