It is the objective of this paper to manifest the rule and function of linguistic signs in the creation of literary texts.Embarking on such a task requires introduction of the linguistic signs as the unit of language system as well as recognizing the function of the these signs in the emergence of literary texts on the basis of the accepted hypothesis.

Most of the researches being done in the field of stylistics concern reinvestigating literary styles and the creative idiosyncrasy of the author. For this reason the application of language in literature has been taken into further account within the field of stylistics. The present study tries to criticize the formalistic distinction made between language and literature and to challenge the idea of “literary language” as an independent phenomenon. It also illustrates the point that the distinction made between the application of language in literary words and non-literary ones is due to different functions of language. It is the functions of literary language which leads to the prominence of language as well as forming an idiosyncrasy.

Horse constitutes an essential part of a hero (Pahlavan) and it seems as a discrete limb to his body. Therefore, the names of famous horses are remembered in the history just as their renowned riders. Among them, Rakhsh, just like its rider Rostam, is a unique creature that was mysteriously picked by Rostam. Rakhsh is a mighty rose quadruped, notoriously flighty and difficult to catch with some legendary and prominent qualities that some have resembled it to fire. In the present research, the relation between Rakhsh and fire, especially Azar Goshasp’s sepand fire, who has been a great warrior, has been studied and analyzed.

One of the verses in Hafiz Poetry which provokes a lot of discussion is the verse located at the beginning of the page. The problem is being approached from different angles: 1. With regard to the first verse, which one is correct? «گر خود» ,«ور خود» or «ار خود»?2. The question arose as to whether we should consider the verse a conditional case and we must interpret it or not?3. What is meant by Chardh Narrative in the second verse? The present paper is an attempt to indicate first, the preference of the two terms of «گر خود» and «ار خود», which share the same meaning and have been used in the former six versions (before 850 AH), to the term «ور خود» which has been erratically used in just one version of that era (before 850 AH). Second, based upon the first part, the verse must be dealt with as a conditional case and therefore interpreted. Third, Chardh Narrative means the narratives of fourteen innocent (PBUH) in commentating Quran.

Ghahreman Shiri∗Although Hindi style has been apparently used in the most non-political poetic period in Iranian literature, in fact most of its principle features have been formed in reaction to cultural policies of Safavid era. Intricate imageries and reasoning characteristics are in response to superficiality and shallowness of the people. An attempt to discover tenor and aversion and dissidence to tradition, politics and ideology are as well reactions to political and cultural limitations and prohibitions which eventually results in a quite different world from the present realities in the society.

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the cultural effect of Ottoman’s Mashrooteh Revolution (1908 A.D) along with the effect of Iran’s Mashrooteh Revolution (1906 A.D) on central Asia which seems to share common historical features with the two mentioned countries, with respect to religious, national and linguistic aspects. The study revealed that Iran and Ottoman, which faced western civilization and modernity in a non-colonial context, had a significant effect on counter-cultural areas in central Asian countries which by then had turned into Russia’s colonies. This effect was quite noticeable and unique in the forming of modern Persian literature in the prementioned region.

Kaiser Aminpour poetry which has been compiled in eight collections consists of live and dynamic poems. In these poems particular personality traits have penetrated into objects, natural phenomena and abstract concepts, creating a sense of personification. There is a kind of correspondence between personification and the idea of "pre-operational child". Based upon the study, the following conclusions can be drawn: 1. One of the widely used figures of speech in Kaiser Aminpour poetry is personification. 2. Personification is mostly used along with symmetry. 3. In the two works of "To quote swallow" and "Such as spring, such as river", the poet makes use of the reviving of nature in spring in order to attribute this feature to natural phenomena. 4. The two works of “Flowers all Sunflowers” and “Morning respiration” involve the most instances of personification. 5. Earth, sky and wind among natural phenomena and heart and love among abstract concepts constitute the most cases of personification.
