Abstract
Semiotics is a precise tool for studying the mechanism of formation and production of meaning. Two important types, cognitive and emotional, cause the production of meaning in the fluid flow of literary discourse. Since the discourse governing the poem "Cookie Doll" is based on broad and pressing communication, this article aims to investigate the system by using analytical-descriptive method and in a library manner. to discuss the emotional tension in this poem and while analyzing the poems, explain the mechanisms of formation, production, continuity of emotional meaning and its interaction with other meanings and explain how the signs of meanings participate in the production of meaning. The purpose of this article is to investigate the sensory-perceptual features of this poem to show how "discursive position", "discursive connection and disconnection", "effect of verbs", "perspective creation", "rhythm and song", " "Tension" has created new places and times in the heart of discourse and has made the range of poetry wider and wider. In other words, this article seeks to show how Forough, through the emotional and tense relationship of the elements involved in the mechanisms of producing emotional discourse, ultimately acted in the direction of establishing the intended meaning of the speaker (poet), and the speaker in this direction uses tools such as "discourse position", "discourse connection and disconnection", "effect of verbs", "perspective creation" and "rhythm and song" have been used. The findings of the research indicate that the elements involved in the mechanisms of producing emotional discourse have finally worked to stabilize the intended meaning of the speaker. Another result of the research is that the relationship between the signs of the cookie doll poem shows that the poet has established various strategies and methods for the act of "sitting passively", the most important of which is the emotionalization of the discourse space
