The novelistic text has often rendered a dialectical function that expresses (incompatibility, supporting or acceptance and rejection or negation and affirmation). Starting from its introduction to the body of the text which includes tense inconsistency and character shifts together with paradoxes in construction ending with the overlapping of visions and diverging of arguments .It is a prerequisite to investigate the deep and/or absent ties that exist in the text . Thus , it is a must to search for the functional role through which these connectors may acquire various connotations despite tense inconsistency and exhibiting a contradicting structure in time and approaching in events as well as embodying its conflicts that cover the findings of the text .Furthermore, these ties boost the process of figuration and intensification as well. Accordingly, Yahya Hamdan’s Novel (O An Early Comer ! Where to?) has been embodied as a model for this paper within semiotic approach that paves the way to the theoretical background of semiotic terminology and the beginning of origin and development .Additionally ,the operant habitation which detects the semiotics of thresholds and the time game which inserted in pre-made templates. Ultimately, the last stop includes the narrative shifts and their impact on the interactive and communicative value between man and place.
