Abstract: (478 Views) |
Roman Jakobsen considered the difference between linguistic roles to result from the prominence of some communicational elements (Addresser, Addressee, Message, Content, Contact, and Codes). He believed that every message has several linguistic roles, usually one of which is more prominent. In literary texts, due to the complexity of the text, the multiplicity of layers, and the fluidity of signs, we are not only faced with a literary role. But, in addition to the formal enhancement of the text, rhetorical figures also interact with other linguistic roles and an intelligent use will cause proportion and conformity in the form and meaning of the text. This study has analyzed the interaction of form and content in Attar's Mantiq-ut-tayr using a descriptive-analytical method and concluded that Attar established a balanced relationship between rhetorical figures and the moral-mystical content of Mantiq-ut-tayr. He has used them to express specified themes and concepts based on their essence and literary function. For example, he has used “Poetical Reasoning” to explain educational and mystical issues, “Literary Collocation” to create thematic unity and textual coherence, and “Oxymoron” to illustrate the contradictory nature of mystical experiences and internal and external conflicts of mystics. The proper use of rhetorical figures according to the subject matter and content of the anecdotes of the Mantiq-ut-tayr has created a lot of beauty, influence, interaction, and harmony of form and content.
