Abstract

The discourse of transcendence within discourse analysis is employed to understand how language and discourse shape reality and concepts. Language is not just a means of communication, but a powerful tool used to create and shape reality and sense. The discourse of transcendence is based on the assumption that language works with newly developed metaphorical tools to convey rhetorical codes between the sender and the recipient. In other words, language can convey reality into a set of possible and potential worlds for various discursive events and phenomena. This was demonstrated through the research conducted in “Kitab Al-Aghani “The Book of Songs” by Al-Isfahani”. The discourse was evident on two important topics:

  • The first topic: The poets’ discourse – The poetic discourse makers
  • The second topic: The discourse of the rulers and clan leaders.
