The use of language, which plays an important role in designing the fiction of literary texts, comes into prominence with its characteristics of the  distortion  of perception  in postmodern fiction. Linguistic indications hold the abstractive function in the presentation of literary texts to  spatial fiction and reader's perception in  postmodern novel. The abstraction is provided with  simulacrum, not referring to  a common signifier  and intended   to be perceived as a reality.The space appearing  in the  structure which designs the plotline in Siyah Hatıralar Denizi (Black Memorıes Sea) is presented by simulacrumed indications. Simulacrums, product of the postmodern culture and serving for individual world perception, serve for the spatial fiction  to be  in a structure with ability of being fictionalised perpetually, with indications meeting the signification.

When the analysis of a literary text is attempted , undoubtedly the first starting point  is the linguistic indications.From the linguistic indications,the effort of analysing  a literary text  and bringing the images presented by  indications into the forefront rather than associations  is a method drawing language and literature together as a result of an  interdisciplinary study. In this study aiming  to identify and analyze how the space in a postmodern novel is created through linguistic elements, the simulacrum stages will be attempted to evaluate by making use of methods and techniques of linguistics, semantics , and semiotics.  Examining the use of simulacrumed  language will also enable the analysis of the new world perception.
