The quality of representation of discourse actors in Arash Kamangir's poetry based on Van Leeuwen's model (1996)

Abstract

The process of actor representation in narrative involves various aspects of discourse-based formulations. The narrator refers to the actors as subjects to either accept or reject them, encompassing different stances, including acceptance and rejection with their sub-categories. Siavash Kasraei's stance as a subject-narrator towards a character as a subject-situator requires the selection of a specific approach and the rejection of other procedures. The mention or omission of actors in Arash Kamangir's poetry is directly related to the poet's thinking and his evaluation and interpretation of that character. The poet describes and depicts the situation of the character through his own interpretations.
