المسكوت عنه في خطاب الحكاية “كتاب كليلة ودمنة نموذجا”

This study discusses the notion of discourse analysis in the tale taking Kalilah and Domna as a study case. It specifically deals with the issue of the unspoken in the texture of the text, taking into account the linguistic message, its connotations as well as the coherent relation of form and content, the signifier and the signified. The study is based on the assumption that discourse builds on indicators that point to ellipsis, blanks and unspoken ideas that await the reader to think of. The study also builds on the idea that the art of the narrative can transfer the idea and reality of other forms of literature, hence it discusses several issues that are related to the unspoken in discourse and their implications.
