Abstract
The emergence of the formalism school in the early years of the twentieth century has had a profound impact on the way in which literary and artistic texts are analyzed. Hence, the study of literacy in a cinematic work is not limited to vocabularies and also includes linguistic, visual and content aspects of the work. As in literature, the use of figures of speech (semantics eloquence rhetoric) in words and speech makes the text eloquent in the cinema these figures of speech with the help of images, montage, mise en scene, lighting , … create eloquent meaning differently. The present paper, based on formalists and neo-formalist views, seeks to study and analyze the film “mother” by Ali hatami from the point of view of literary and explaining its artistic and literary aspects. For this purpose in addition to analyzing the text of the script rhetoric has been analyzed in its images. According to the analysis it should be said that the use of many literary arrays in the dialogue between the characters of the story and the use of methods and techniques for the transfer of concepts by the image-these methods have a long history in the literature- made the work of hatami prominent in literary style and gave it an independent identity that with every time exposed by the informed audience to this work the literary capacity and influence of the lexical and concept terms of classical Persian literature are more than ever evident.

Abstract
This article studies the question of “meaning” in literary texts. First, I havepresented a definition for linguistic proposition. There is no proposition in language that does not have a linguistic definition; however,literature is replete with propositions without any acceptable referents. Under three circumstances the linguistic definition of a text is rendered null: (1) unconsciousness that is whenthe text indicates that the propositions were produced under an unconscious state; (2) anti-referentiality when the linguistic definition of a text is denied because itrefers to a referent that is inconsistent with our everyday experience; and (3) incongruity between the proposition and its producer, which happens when there is discrepancy between the linguistic definition of the propositions and our already-established assumptions about its producer. In conclusion, this article categorizes the propositions of a text in three categories:
Propositions with acceptable linguistic definition that refers to a known referent;
Propositions in which the secondary meaning is the speaker’s primary intended meaning and under this meaning they have external referents as well;
Propositions that—no matter what generated their semantic ambiguity—are without any acceptable linguistic definition and that are not congruent with our known world and resist comprehension.
