Examining Sana'i Ghaznavi’s Quatrains Based on Roman Jacobson's Theory of Verbal Communication
Ahmad Sanchooli
Roman Jacobson’s verbal communication theory, in which the main functions and roles (sender, message, and receiver) and secondary roles (topic, symbols, and communication channel) of language are considered, is one of the most consistent theories in the field of linguistics and literary criticism. Based on this theory, directing the message towards each of these roles causes the emergence of special functions such as emotional, persuasive, literary, referential, meta-linguistic, and empathy. In the study of Sana'i Ghaznavi’s quatrains, according to the six functions of language, it was found that in addition to the literary role, which all quatrains have due to the use of poetic elements, the emotional role also has the greatest function. In the emotional role in which the direction of the message is towards the speaker, the poet has expressed his emotions and feelings in a simple and intimate language regarding issues such as beloved, admired, or his opponents. Therefore, the purpose and centrality of the speech in these quatrains are with the sender (the poet) and the literary type of these quatrains is the type of lyric literature in which the structure of description is considered the most important structure and the poet has described categories such as love, lover, praise, man, world, and God. Keywords: Sanai Ghaznavi, Quatrain, Theory of Verbal Communication, Roman Jacobson. IntroductionSana'i Ghaznavi (d. 529 A.H.), is a famous poet of the 6th century. In addition to being considered a flow-making poet in Masnavi, odes, and ghazals, he is also a poet in the quatrains and opening new semantic horizons. He brought mysticism into the realm of quatrains and in this sense created a new movement in quatrains that were more romantic before him. For this reason, his works are among the texts that have been referred to as "the text of the moment of change" (Fottouhi, 2012, p. 230). In these quatrains, various themes can be seen such as romantic, mystical, philosophical, and moral, as well as praise, satire, witnessing, and chaos, which are usually divided into ‘light’ and ‘gray’ categories (Shafiei Kadkani, 2010, p. 25-34).In addition to mystical themes, his Khayamiyat is also worthy of reflection in this poetic form. The themes of Khayami, before Sana'i, are seen in other poetic forms (Islami Nadoushan, 1995, p. 122). Introducing these themes into the form of quatrains is very likely done for the first time by Sana'i. Sanai is also a pioneer in composing the quatrains of Shahreshob (Shamisa, 1984, p. 55). In this research, while examining the Sana'i quatrains based on Roman Jacobson's communication model, these questions have been posed:Which role is more important in these quatrains?What is the function of other roles in these poems?How does a dominant construction influence other constructions? Materials and MethodsThe method of conducting this research is the descriptive-analytical method, in which all Sana'i Ghaznavi’s quatrains have been examined and studied based on Roman Jacobson's model of verbal communication, and the six functions of language in these quatrains have been categorized and analyzed by mentioning the frequency. Research FindingsIt is rare to find a poem in which only one of the language roles is used, but in most instances, two or more language roles are present at the same time, and even in some cases, the language roles are separated from each other. According to Jacobson, what makes different messages different from each other is "the predominance of one of the functions of language over other roles" (Meghdadi, 1999, p. 623). In the analysis of Sana'i quatrains based on Roman Jacobson's communication model, it was found that in addition to the literary role that all quatrains have due to the poet's use of the quatrain format and the use of literary devices, the emotional role has the most function, which has influenced other roles of language. The most obvious structure in the emotional role is the structure of description, in which the poet has described his situation, his lover, his admirers, and sometimes his opponents. In addition to these two main roles, Sanai has also used other roles of language, i.e. persuasive, referential, meta-linguistic, and empathic roles. The most important structure in the role of persuasion is the structure of advice, which includes moral, religious, and romantic advice. In the referential role, the poet's point of view can be seen towards categories such as love, lover, human, world, and God. Considering these points, it can be said that Jacobson's theory of linguistic communication is an efficient and coherent theory in the analysis of literary works, which pays attention to both the structure and the content of the literary work. Discussion of Results and ConclusionsAccording to Jacobson's model of verbal communication, Sana'i has used all the six roles of language in his quatrains. In the emotional role, Sana'i talks about his feelings in relation to his lover, praised, or his opponents. Therefore, his quatrains can be considered a type of lyrical literature, in which the most important element is description, and the most important structure in description is the herding structure, in which Sana'i complains to the herd and about his lover's cruelty. He pays attention to his lover's bad temper, bad language, cunning, trickery, reproach, and cuteness. The tone of lamentation and glory from the lover is sometimes to such an extent that it finds the side of burning and symptoms of the lover, and in some cases, it even comes close to satire. In addition to being proud of his lover, Sanai complains about destiny, luck, and sometimes from some of his friends and relatives. The predominance of the emotional tone in Sena'i quatrains is such that it has overshadowed other roles and functions of language.In the role of persuasion, in which the direction of the message is towards the audience and the structure of advice is considered the most important structure, in cases where the audience is a lover, the tone of the poet is not commanding, but is accompanied with a kind of desire and expression of romantic need. Of course, in cases where the audience is general, the poet's tone becomes commanding. In these cases, the most important recommendations are moral recommendations. In addition to the structure of advice, the structure of wish, which comes with a prayer verb, has a significant function in which the poet has a wish in the form of a prayer or a curse for his beloved, praised, or opponents. In addition to these roles, the poet has also used other roles of language, i.e. the role of meta-linguistics and empathy.

Looking Awry at Language: A Brief Overview of Paradox from the Perspective of Cognitive Linguistics
Raziyeh Hojatizadeh
The present study investigates paradox as a cognitive phenomenon within the framework of conceptual metaphor and metonymy, challenging its conventional classification as a rhetorical device. Focusing on Persian mystical literature, the research explores how paradox functions as a dynamic meaning-making mechanism in figurative language. The primary aim is to redefine paradox through cognitive linguistics, demonstrating its integration with metaphor (para-metaphor) and metonymy (para-metonymy) in restructuring perception. The study seeks to: 1) identify the cognitive models underlying paradox, 2) analyze its interaction with other conceptual processes, and 3) illustrate its role in non-linear thinking and knowledge organization. A descriptive-analytical approach is employed, with data purposively sampled from Persian literary texts. Theoretical frameworks include conceptual blending theory (Fauconnier & Turner, 2002) and Ruiz de Mendoza’s cognitive modeling, emphasizing high-level abstraction and mental space networks. Paradox emerges from metaphorical contradictions (e.g., "death is life") and metonymic expansions (e.g., "weeping with laughter"), resolving oppositions through conceptual blending. It operates as a matrix-like strategy, enabling reframing and emergent meanings. Persian mystical texts exemplify this capacity to transcend binary logic and evoke multilayered interpretations.

حکایات مشایخ در منظومههای صوفیانه فارسی
سالومه صیاد راجبی, محمد ابراهیم پور نمین, خسرو جلیلی کهنهشهری
ادبیات صوفیه در دو صورت منثور و منظوم آن، بخشی بزرگ و مهم از ادبیات فارسی است با گونهها و زیرگونههای متنوعی چون دستینهها و آثار منثور و منظوم تعلیمی و نیز آثار خلاقهای که گزارشگر لحظات شور و اشراق صوفی در زبانی غنایی یا رمزی(سمبلیک) است. یکی از مواد اصلی و مشترک در میان تقریباً تمامی این انواع گوناگون، نقل «حکایات» و «اقوال» مشایخ صوفی است. این پژوهش کوششی است برای ارائۀ تصویری دقیق و مستند از کمّ و کیفِ بازتابِ «حکایات» (و نه اقوالِ) مشایخ صوفی در مهمترین منظومههای تعلیمی صوفیانۀ فارسی شامل حدیقةالحقیقۀ سنایی، مثنوی معنوی مولانا، و هفتاورنگ جامی. نتایج این پژوهش نشان میدهد از مجموع 300 حکایت منقول در مجموع این آثار، گذشته از حکایات منسوب به پیران ناشناس (47 حکایت)، که بالاترین میزان حکایات را تشکیل میدهد، بیشترین حکایتها بهترتیب مربوط به بایزید(با 24مورد)، ابوسعید ابوالخیر(با 21 مورد) و شبلی(با 20 حکایت) است. همچنین حدود یکچهارم از مجموع کل حکایات، «حکایات کرامات»اند و مضمون بقیۀ حکایات، تعلیم معارف و مفاهیم صوفیانه است. گفتنی است در نگاهی تاریخی و تطبیقی، بهروشنیمیتوان افزایش توجه به نقل حکایاتِ کرامات را در فاصلۀ سنایی تا مولانا دید؛ چنانکه در حدیقةالحقیقه، هیچ حکایت کرامتی نقل نشده اما از میان 26 حکایت منقول در دفاتر ششگانۀ مثنوی مولانا، 15 حکایت، (یعنی حدود 60درصد حکایات) کرامتمحور است. درنهایت نیز میتوان مجموع منظومههای صوفیانۀ فارسی را در مقایسه با انواعی همچون تذکرهها و اولیانامهها و نیز عدهای از دستینههای کهن عربی، برخوردار از توجه کمتری به حکایات کرامات تلقی کرد.

Content Analysis of "Qazor wa Khar" Anecdote in Mathnavi
Taher Lavzheh
The application of certain rules in style, language, and tone of various narratives gives coherence to an anecdote’s context of the text. The anecdote "Qazor wa Khar", taken from Kalile wa Dimna, is recreated in a different way in Mathnavi and Movlana uses it in a distinct narrative. The main objectives of the study are comparing these two different narratives of the anecdote according to the context of the text, examining the development and expansion of the anecdote’s concepts during its transition from a literary form to a mystical text, analyzing its content, explaining its themes and the way it is in form of a special narrative in Mathnavi. In this research, using content analysis and criticism criteria and theory, the researcher explicates the reasons why Movlana retold Kalile wa Dimna’s story. According to the findings of the research, Movlana, by resorting to some techniques of eloquence, introduces the thoughts and actions of the leading characters of the story as representatives of two groups in order to fulfill the aims of his story in explicating the sincere repentance, and to examine its relationships with related terms such as acquisition, trust, imitation and research in a new narrative. Movlana in this new interpretation exploits the capabilities of the language of mysticism and other small stories to explain the fundamentals of the subject and its broad implications. He emphasizes the understanding of esoteric mysteries through symbols and in referring to the adventures of the characters and analyzing their discourse, he expands the content to present the implied meanings embedded in the new story.

A Critical Review of
Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence) of Oil and Gas
Roohollah Kohan Hoosh Nejad, Mohammad Hossein Altamimi
This paper reviews the book “Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence) of Oil and Gas”, and provides a critical view on the content of the book. The emphasis of the author for writing the book is to make the MA and PhD students of “Oil and Gas Law”, “Energy Law” and “Oil and Gas Contracts” and other interested people be familiar with basic concepts and foundations of “Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence) of Oil and Gas” and give them access to short and simple texts in this regard. Although the book has tried to fill the gap mentioned in the goal for writing the script, it has failed so far as chosen texts and their arrangement do not have a suitable relation with oil and gas law and contracts, and it seems that review and reorganization of the script in such a way that the reader can understand the relationship between the chosen texts and oil and gas law and contracts help to increase the coherence of the book.

A Review and Critique of
Archaeology of Iran
Roghayeh Rahimi Sorkhani
The present study tries to evaluate and pinpoint the structural and content weaknesses and strengths of the book, entitled Archaeology of Iran (Tourism Planning and Management), authored by Karim Hajizadeh and Parviz Pourkarimi. In terms of content, the book is one of the rare and vanguard compilations in the field of the relationship between archeology and tourism in Iran. However, it has some deficiencies in different parts of this subject. The author in the present paper aimed to analyze and criticize the features and deficiencies of content and writing from several viewpoints, such as the conformity of the book subjects with approved topics by Planning Higher Council, the correctness or inaccuracy of the relationship between the content and the title of the book, the quality of the use of valid and new references as well as the typographic mistakes that cannot be ignored. The present article suggests that the book, despite its rich content and impact on the applied archaeology, seems to be used as an academic course of "Archaeology of Iran" needs to be reconsidered.

On the Boundary between "Yogakkhema" in the "Suttapiṭaka" and "Yogakṣema" in the "Upaniṣads" and "Bhagavadgītā"

On the Boundary between "Yogakkhema" in the "Suttapiṭaka" and "Yogakṣema" in the "Upaniṣads" and "Bhagavadgītā"
The combination of the stems yoga- and khema-/kṣema- occurs in phrases or compounds in both ancient and in middle Indo-Aryan sources but what is intriguing is that such a combination is generally interpreted as coordinating in the former occurrences and as subordinating in the latter ones. In particular, yogakkhema- within the Buddhist Theravāda Canon and its commentarial literature is regularly analysed as a tatpuruṣa and often translated as ‘freedom from bondage or safety’.
We recently presented a part of the Vedic and Pali documentation collected in the context of more broadly shared research on this subject during the 18th Conference of the International Association of Buddhist Studies (Section: “Buddhism and Its relation to other religions”) held at the University of Toronto on August 20th–25th, 2017, now published as Pontillo and Neri 2019. The case of yogakṣema/yogakkhema in Vedic and Suttapiṭaka sources. In response to Norman. In: Journal of Indian Philosophy 47(3): 527–563. Here, we shall take a further step in the above-mentioned comparison by concentrating on the occurrences of the compound yogakṣema/yogakkhema as found in the upaniṣads and in the Bhagavadgītā and in some comparable Suttapiṭaka passages with the aim of understanding what might have been the boundary that this word historically crossed in the framework of an assumed dialogue between different traditions.

Investigating the Challenges of Iran's Publication: A Proposal of Economic Indicators and Innovation
Ali Afzali, Rouhollah Aboojafari
This article examines the economic conditions of publishing books in Iran. The book as one of the most important cultural goods in comparison with other cultural industries has a fairly good capacity to generate income and employment. In this research, firstly, using the value chain approach, the economic conditions of the book publishing are explained. Then, using the grounded method and utilizing economic indicators, the challenges of this area have been identified. According to the studies and surveys conducted in this study, real household expenditures on books have been decreasing since 2013. Examples include imbalances in the share of publishing chain actors, the inadequate distribution of distributors across the country, the inappropriateness of the number of bookstores with the number of publishers, the weakness of reading culture and the educational system, and the domination of the new media on people's lives are considered to be challenging. In contrast, effective policy-making with the use of economic indicators and actions such as updating the rules in this area and the use of innovations such as printing on demand, online sales, and audiobooks in many ways can help to cope with the challenges.

The speed of the narrative of the story of Sa'di's Golestan based theory of Gérard Genette
Omid Vahdanifar, Mohammad reza Sarfi, Mohammad sadegh Basiri
Abstract Today, because of the importance of narrative style in literature, science of "narratology" has great importance in the narrative, and the issue of "Time" has found a special place. "Time" and "speed" in the narrative are the two issues which are closely related to each other and always effective in narration of narrative works. Since "time" has found its great value for modern man, new knowledge, "narratology", like all areas of human knowledge, has given time particular importance. The speed of the story in a literary work is to display, actions and events occurred during what period of time and how much of the story is devoted to. Sa'di's Golestan anecdotes as one of the most successful ancient Persian literature and the Persian poet Sa'di, one of the most discussed story writers, represent other literary values. In this study the issue of "rapid narrative" as a factor contributing to the popularity and persistence of this effect has been studied. For this purpose, 81 pieces of Golestan, which has a narrative structure (with two elements: dialogue and action fiction) and also have more of a coherent plot, selected on the basis of Gerard Genette's theory of narratology, to do a descriptive analysis and to reflect the increase and decrease of speed of the narrative on topics such as: the selection and elimination, the Parish, frequency, description, dialogue, adding episode, theorist, writer, intellectual expression, revealing the imaginative and emotional time, Hadith breath, Quote, use of metaphor, decelerating and comparing the characters of the story, will be discussed. The result of this study showed that the pace of the narrative in the story of Sa'di's Golestan is "sluggish" and due to the volume of the stories, use of the maximum of rapidly reducing factors is considered good and causes this literary work to be more lasting. It also has a great impact on making the young novelists focus on the importance of the narrative in the story, and pushing researchers to discover unknown aspects of the literary works of ancient Persian language. More stories of Golestan were written in a "realistic" way and besides simplicity, in many respects accord with the contemporary fiction techniques and principles. In this work, the following questions will be answered: 1. What are the most important factors affecting the pace of the narrative Golestan's anecdotes? 2. Does the rapid or slow pace of the narratives impact on their popularity or everlasting? The objectives of this paper can be summarized as follows: 1. Evaluation of use of the additive and reductive factors in speed of Golestan's narrative stories. 2. Examining the Effect of narrative speed as one of the most important topics in everlasting Golestan's stories. 3- Determine the skills Saadi's successful or unsuccessful use of narrative speed. In this paper was to review the pace of the narrative in Sa'di's Golestan anecdotes. The results of this study showed that: 1. In Golestan's anecdots, the use of elements of selection and elimination, single frequency and frequency recounts, speeded up (rapid movement) the narrative. 2. In Golestan's anecdotes these factors have been used more: descriptions, subjective expression, adding episode, frequently repeated, the Parish of retrospectively, revealing the mental - emotional, negative acceleration, self-talk, dialogue, quotation, analogy, theorizing and comparing the characters. But these elements slowed down the speed of narrative stories. Thus, according to the results of this paper can be said the Golestan's anecdotes are narrative s in which the pace is slow. However this pace of the narrative is effective because pace factors of the narratives are charm and reputation and in the popularity of Golestan, have left a positive effect. Thus, this feature makes the reader without boredom, enjoy reading stories, adventures and events and pursue them until the end. Witness is the various and several editions of Golestan by different publications that justify the popularity of this work in the eyes of the audiences.

Overview of the Factors Music Making in Tamhidat by Ein al-Ghozat Hamedani
Fatemeh Modarresi, Maryam Arab
Abstract
Figures of speech in addition to their aesthetic functions have different effects on words. Internal music is one of the effects of figures of speech which can play an important role in beautifying the word and its effect on the audience. The internal music comes with the use of verbal figures of speech. Figures that make words related by similarity or uniformity of vowels and consonants and create sensible alliteration. Categories of palilogy, alliteration, parallelism, pun and riming prose are among the figures of speech that play a major role in creating internal music of the poem. In this study, with a descriptive-analytical approach, we discuss the roll of music making factors in Tamhidat as an example of prose poem. The language of Ein ol-Ghozat in Tamhidat is preachy and didactical and in an addressing mode. Despite the intensity and sharpness of his speech, he speaks simple language with his audience. However, his words are in some cases melodious that influences audience and increases its penetration in the listener. The music of his words is natural so the listener can feel it with his spirit and takes its effect. Well syntagmatic arrangement of words is one of his language features that is based on music and phonemes' melody. This music gives words importance and predominance and makes Tamhida's prose a kind of prose poem. Applying some of the subtle and tiny musical elements such as parallelism (paronomasia /pun) makes the music of book more effective and catching. In other words, harmony of sounds and synchronization through which prose becomes rhythmic and melodious is one of the aesthetic aspects of the mystical prose of Ein ol-Ghozat that arises from his word's music and special intonation, so as human nature accepts it and enjoys reading. This word music is found in the form of alliteration, pun, repetition, and meter in important parts of his speech that sometimes becomes close to prosodic meter. In Ein ol-Ghozat's prose without feeling prosodic meter by listener, a wave of intonation and meter dominates resulted from alliteration and rhyme, and proximity of the number of syllables in every symmetry and perhaps likeness and nearness of the number of syllables in all or parts of the symmetries.
Repetition as a key element of the internal music is one of Ein ol-Ghozat's stylistic characteristic. Repetitions are seen in three forms in Ein ol-Ghozat languages. 1- Alliteration, this group consists of various kinds of pun, rhyme, repetition, etc. 2- Parallelism: Repetition of words or phrases. 3- Palilology: Repetition of word: This form is one of the most important and aesthetic repetition in Tamhidat that in addition to making prose integrated, is effective in conveying the concept and content of the message of Ein ol-Ghozat, as repetition of the words "Alas," " O’ Friend," and "O’ Dear" in several phrases has a great influence in stimulation of feeling and inculcation emotion in the reader.
Alliteration: One of the most important aspects of aesthetics in the mystical prose of Ein ol-Ghozat are sound harmony and alliteration that can be mainly found in pun/ paronomasia and riming. Usage of rhyme in all Tamhidat is not in the same level. Wherever discussion is didactic and reasoning, it is not generally riming, but where the subject is stories and anecdotes and analogies or becomes emotional, usually is riming. One manifestation of this figure is short sentences and aphorisms, whether the word is quotation of an old or an important person or whether the author expresses his own word.
Apart from these, Ein ol-Ghozat has worked other ways to enrich his word's music. The most important of these methods are:

Akram Joudi Nemati

It intends to show how, in the history of Sufism, the manifestation of the Beauty has brought such qualities as grace, goodness, and mercy of God into the attention of the lover mystic, making him spiritually intoxicated and giving rise to speeches and behaviors that suggest abandoning religious obligations. On the other hand, the manifestation of Glory has brought such qualities as overwhelming power, wrath, and dominion of God into the attention of the mystic, keeping him in a state of constant self-consciousness and leading him to observance of the norms and concentration on religious obligations and devotions. The first group of mystics is called Ashāb al-Sukr and the second Ashāb al- Sahw.
