Abstract
Naser Khosrow’s intellectual system has been formed on the basis of his deep knowledge of religions, nations and ideologies, his faith inIsmailism, as well asthe cosmological and anthropological issues;and this coherent system of thought has had a decisive and visible effect on other aspects of his speech, including imagery.One of the important centers of artistic images in his works is the reflection on the dual spiritual and physical nature of man. Based on a descriptive-analytical method, this study seeks to search for the roots and sources of the artistic images of the body and soul in the works of Naser Khosrow as well as theircriticism and analysis.The origin of body and soul, the philosophy of the soul belonging to the body, the nature and destiny of body and soul and the different needs of these two are the most important reasons for creating numerous images of body and soul in Naser Khosrow’s works.Several other important clusters of images of body and soul are formed around concepts such as house and landlord, servant and master, ship and shipmaster, shirt, pearl and shell, mine and gem, prison and prisoner, and book and tree, showing body and soul relations from different perspectives.The results of the study show that the roots and sources of many images of body and soul in Nasser Khosrow’s works have been mentioned in previous theological and philosophical sources, including ancient Greek, Gnostic, Indian, Iranian, and Islamic works.

Abstract
Tārīkh-i Jahāngushāy-i Juvaynī is a historical-literary work with technical prose. One of the features of this book is the use of imagery to express political concepts. The main question of this research is what role imagery plays in Tārīkh-i Jahāngushāy to establish the political and religious authority of governments. Based on a descriptive-analytical framework, the analysis of imagery in Tārīkh-i Jahāngushāy indicated that imagery was a tool for generating power discourse and for organizing specific political thoughts. The use of all kinds of imagery and expressive techniques in Tārīkh-i Jahāngushāy was not only for the purpose of embellishing the speech and representing aesthetics, but it also served the purpose of persuading the audience and instilling political concepts in addition to reporting historical events. In his work, like other writers of prose texts, Juvaynī tried to use the persuasive and inductive functions of all kinds of imagery to political concepts such as the divinity of the source of power, the sovereignty of the sultans based on destiny, kingship, the requirements and duties of the king, absolute obedience to the sultan, the military power of the state, and suppression of enemies to instill the political and religious legitimacy of states, establish their authority, and justify their actions.

Abstract
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.
