Abstract

Boasting poem is one of the special features of epic literature that includes the vaunt of the heroes and the expression of their works and honors, and is most commonly used during the war, but in other situations we also find it. None of the heroic stories of Shahnameh of this kind of discourse is empty. In this research, which done based on the documentary-analytical method and with a library study has been completed, We are going to explore the aspects of the content and language of the two poets in the area of boasting poem by studying the epic rebellion in the Shahnameh (Story of Rostam and Esfandiar) and the epic poem of Amr-ibn Kolthum Taqlabli. The central question of the research is whether the two poets are approaching each other in the direction in which they are located; whether the element or elements in the two branches are present and how effective the canvas and the climate have in their quality. After review we found that the language of the two poets, especially Ferdowsi, in the report of Rostam’s Rajaz, has a markedly diminished literary significance, and there is little rhetorical in his language, From the rhetorical point of view, "allusion" is the central axis of two poets, but indigenous and climatic elements have been effective in their regressive quality, as the vast landscape and geography of the inherent features of the epic does not appear in Amr-ibn Kolthum's poetry. Alongside the horse, which is a pivotal epic, the Arab poet has mentioned camels, which are the main capital and native Arabic animal. Esfandiar's Rajaz is accompanied by Rostam's reproach and humiliation. The rhetoric expressed in this story in the early years of the story is longer than the final stages of the tragedy of Esfandiar's death; that is, the more we get closer to the story and death of Esfandiar, the shorter and more violent ones are. Of the ten cases of Rajazi's intentions, two poets shared in seven categories, the expression of power, and the description of abusive acts, rape and race, the concern of disgrace and name, weakening of morale, threats, intimidation and in three cases Humiliation and expression of rival, admonition and uncompromising and oppression are different.

Abstract

This essay seeks to explain the typology of kings and to report on their practices to represent their role in the advancement of tales. The method used in this research is library-based and qualitative in terms of content analysis. The criterion for choosing these stories is, besides its reputation, a wide range of readers, the general interest and the frequencies of the presence of kings. After reviewing these stories, the author found that kings often seemed to be in Iranian and non-Iranian affairs according to the narrator's type of attitude, and that the picture of kings was reported according to the general context of the story and its context. In addition to requiring a particular content, it also requires certain heroes and types of character. Darab-Nameh has an epic & mythological content, and therefore the behaviors and actions of the most kings are mythological epics. Hussein- Kord is also an epic-religious tale. Our hypothesis is that storytellers seek to shape and regulate the structure of society in the form of king, the courtiers and other heroes; in other words, they seek to establish a definitive framework that is occasionally violated. They are problematic and are considered as unforgivable. In order to study the stories and according to the frequency of types, the author concluded that the "courtiers", especially the king, his family and his ministers, had the highest frequency and presence, and most of the stories began with the words "Shah" or "Prince". There is an intense sense of indigence and Iranism in these stories, so that the types of Iranian kings are much more subtle, more human, richer, more just and wiser than other non-Iranian officials. Darab Nameh is more epic than the other two stories, and the type of kings has been portrayed in a more fictitious, confident and historical way. It should be noted that in Hussein- kord, the kings are not very present and do not act much more.

Abstract

 Folk tales are among the fascinating and dynamic forms of folk culture and literature reported in oral and ancient tales. Farahvar is one of the most prominent concepts in mythological and epic beliefs revealed by folk stories. However, obvious examples of the kings of Farahmand in mythology and the epic types have inherited their form, but this form is not the only way to acquire the character of Farahvar. By adopting a descriptive-analytical research methodology, this article attempts to reveal the nature of Farvahar in a collection of four volumes of Iranian stories. The study of Iranian stories and the extraction of many examples from the stories showed that the nature, the manifestations, the forms and the characteristics of Farvahar retain their mythological functions in the Persian narratives. Farvahar is often inherited from stories, and there are examples of this gift taken temporarily or permanently from the king. However, the promising ideas of folklore in the context of narratives allow the lower strata of society to reach the level of monarchy. It should be noted that the spirituality that exists in the stories of Farvahar and the tales, and the luck of the individuals is also a platform for the emergence of archetypes of the model

Abstract

This study is based on the  descriptive-analytic library method. Three tales were selected for this study: Darab nama Tarsusi, Hamza nama, and Amir Arsalan Namdar. Three motifs were considered in this regard: Darab Nama has a mythical, epical, and historical motif; Hamza Nama has an epical-religious motif; and the motif of Amir Arsalan Namdar is romantic. The study, on the one hand, aims to investigate what categories of viziers' actions could be extracted from the Iranian folk stories and the factors which play role in this regard, and on the other, to pursue if these actions reveal any historical and social events or they are typical actions throughout the stories. The results of the study showed that there are two kinds of vizier; one kind is "Mobad-vizier" and another is "Sepahbad-vizier". From this point of view, the first one is cultural, social and juridical consultant and the second one is martial consultant. These two kinds of viziers are present in Darab Nama and Hamza Nama. Based on this dual division, the first vizier (Mobad-vizier) has roles such as fortune telling, wedding ceremony, ambassadorship, intercession, dream interpretation, political advisor and magic works. The other vizier, however, is a martial consultant and sometimes shows his treachery and skullduggery. Viziers in the story of Amir Arsalan Namdar are different from viziers in the other two stories. In this story, viziers are categorized as "vizier on the right hand" and "vizier on the left hand". Often the right-hand vizier is a well-mannered, kind-hearted, well-natured person and naturally the supporter of the main hero of the story. The other one, however, is an evil-minded, wicked conspirator and anti-hero. Lastly, it could be mentioned that Hamza nama and Darab nama are reflecting the social and historical events of the Sasanid era, while Amir Arsalan is related to the Qajar period.

Abstract

Different languages make use of various linguistic tools to encode grammatical roles (GRs). ‘Case- marking’ and ‘word-order’ are among the main tools to be used to code GRs. Furthermore, ‘agreement’ is another prominent tool to be used more or less in world languages to represent GRs. Based on their typologies and morpho-syntactic properties, world languages may select one or a combination of these tools to encode grammatical roles. In the languages with poor morphology, ‘word-order’ plays a more basic role and in those languages with enriched case system, ‘case-marking’ and ‘agreement’ are more frequently employed to encode grammatical roles. On the other hand, there are various factors which may have repercussions for grammar of languages including its agreement system. The factors which are assumed to affect object agreement in this study are transitivity, (in) definiteness, being (non)referential, (non)topicality, incorporation and semantic roles of object. These factors are adopted mainly from Givon (2004) and other related studies after careful examination of related literature in the world languages. Accordingly, the present study aims at investigating object agreement of Ilami Kurdish and the above-mentioned factors which may affect agreement between pronominal enclitics and objects. To achieve these goals, a descriptive- analytic approach was adopted to deal with the collected data. The data were taken from the native speakers via interviewing and using targeted questions. To collect authentic data, 10 native speakers of Ilami Kurdish with age range of 40-60 were frequently referred to in order to check the results. Furthermore, the researchers’ linguistic intuition as native speakers of Kurdish assists them as reliable source of data.
The results indicated that object pronominal enclitic can appear both at the presence and absence of direct object. In the presence of direct object, object pronominal enclitic is optional, while in the absence of direct object, object pronominal enclitics are obligatory. Accordingly, the use of object enclitics in Ilami Kurdish is an optional tool to refer (represent) to direct object. Therefore, it is concluded that object agreement to encode direct object is only used partially in Ilami Kurdish. The results, also, indicated that object enclitics are employed in Ilami Kurdish as a means to refer to object in terms of number and person. Furthermore, the results revealed that the agreement between object pronominal enclitics and direct object is affected by the above factors including '(in)definiteness', being (non)referential', '(non)topicality', 'incorporation'. Therefore, it can be concluded that felicitous object-marking in Ilami Kurdish is conditioned to these factors. For an object pronominal enclitic to be used appropriately, the referred direct object must be definite, referential, topical and non-incorporated.  It is recommended to carry out separate studies on (non)Iranian languages, especially the languages with split ergative morphology, to investigate the influence of the above-mentioned factors on their agreement systems.
