Özet

We tried to analyse the dramatic discourse between two people formed bymonologue-dialogue" in French writer Bernard-Marie Koltes's play Tabataba, and this analysis is based on the communication model of Roman Jakobson. We have explained the concepts of addresser, addressee, context, message, contact and code in this theory. Then we have described referential function, poetic function, emotive function, conative function, phatic function and metalingual function of the language one by one. In our four-part study we have interpreted the complaints of the siblings about each other and their expectations from each other in terms of the functions of the language. We have separated those interpretations as dramatic exposition, dramatic node, dramatic resolution and analysis of dramatic deep structure sections. We tackled said steps by reflecting defensive communication and open communication in the context of judgemental/introductory, supervisory/problem-oriented, planned/unplanned, unconcerned/understanding, superior/egalitarian and certain/empirical attitudes. In the analysis of the dramatic deep structure, based on the findings we have obtained, we found that the heroes have invisible wishes behind their apparent wishes and that they hide those wishes in their subconscious. We analysed this communication process between siblings in line with the model, then in the light of the data displayed with open communication, we analysed the messages of the subtext that emerged in closed communication. Therefore, based on the communication model theory, we moved the dramatic text to an implementation format using discursive analysis.
