Mohammad Hadi Moradi (Author in Charge)

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Pandnameh is an educational-moral work by Farid al-Din Attar Neyshaburi, which is considered one of the prominent works containing advice and counsel in Persian literature. This work explains moral and religious teachings in a concise and admonishing language. The aim of the present study is to study the stylistic features of this work at the linguistic, literary and intellectual levels. The main issue of this study is to explain the stylistic features of Pandnameh at different stylistic levels in order to determine how linguistic and literary elements affect the transmission of moral and educational concepts in this work.

METHODOLOGY: The research method in this article is descriptive-analytical and based on library studies and document mining. In this way, the text of Pandnameh was examined at different linguistic, literary and intellectual levels, and the results were presented in the form of a statistical diagram.

FINDINGS: The research findings indicate that at the linguistic level, the frequency of abstract words and religious terms in the admonition is higher than that of sensory words, and this is in line with the educational and religious nature of the work. At the syntactic level, violations of norms such as verb transposition and the introduction and delay of sentence components are highly frequent, and the news and imperative aspects are most frequent. Phonetically, the weight of this poem is the omitted rhyming system, and the variety of rhyme and line and the extensive use of alliteration, puns, and repetition have added to the music and impact of the work. Also, at the literary level, devices such as simile, allusion, contrast, and number order have the highest frequency.

CONCLUSION: The research results indicate that there is a meaningful harmony between the different linguistic and literary levels and the moral-educational content of the admonition, and stylistic elements have served to strengthen the educational and educational and admonishing messages of the work.
