Abstract
Examining the literary works of theory is one of the new methods, including Jacobsen's communication, based on discovering the depth and multi-layeredness of these works. Jacobsen, one of the founders of the role-playing school of linguistics, believes that every text has six emotional, persuasive, literary, empathetic, referential, and metalinguistic functions that the speaker and receiver are its main elements, and communication is without these two meanings. One of the famous novels of the Arab world, "Season of Migration to the North" by Tayeb Saleh, a Sudanese writer, describes British colonialism and society. It is important to address this work from the perspective of examining communication goals; Because, according to Jacobsen's point of view, every text has multiple messages, and the rhetorician conveys a metatextual message to the audience with common gestures. In this essay, the authors have analyzed the six functions in this novel with descriptive-analytical method and relying on this approach. The results indicate that the author conveys messages about social and cultural issues, colonialism, identity and alienation, inferiority and discrimination to the readers by using various communication channels, and the audience finds themselves in a world of messages by reading this work. Also, sometimes a phrase has several functions, which shows the author's skill in conveying concepts and reflecting the atmosphere of society and contemporary human sufferings and trying to correct it through literary language. By using this theory, we can gain a better understanding of the structure and functions of communication in this novel and better interpret its complex and multilayered messages
