Abstract

In this research, the process of moving from the threshold world to the world of action, and then encountering semantic values in the post threshold world, is considered as an issue. In addressing this issue, we pose the following question: What are the characteristics and semantic functions of the transition from threshold to post threshold? another question arises regarding How does the passage from the threshold to the post threshold lead to transformation of meaning, and how does the anticipated meaning take shape? It should be noted that, the aim of this study, by adopting a semantic semiotics approach and emphasizing on discourse processes in cinema, specifically in Kiarostami’s film »Zire derakhtane zeytoon« is to examine the role of threshold in the production of meaning and the conditions for crossing it. The dialogues and scenes from the film have been purposefully selected to address the questions posed in the paper.
