Summary/Abstract: 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 Memories 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.
