Maryam alinezhad(Author in Charge)

Abstract

The most frequently used grammatical categories in the languages of the world are declarative, interrogative, imperative and exclamative sentences, which are characteristically used to express of statement, question, order and surprise. But linguistic studies indicate that in daily application there are few correspondences between the grammatical form of a sentence and its semantic-pragmatic function; in other words, each of sentences in addition to calculated means, based on their context expresses other means.

This paper in order to discovering semantic-pragmatic function of interrogatives in Eraghi’s Ghazals, between different functions that scholars have introduced for interrogative, has review 487 hemistich with interrogative structure in 220 Eraghi’s ghazals considering functions that Shamisa has introduced.

The result of this research show that Eraghi employed 20 functiones out of 28 secondary functions under discussion and based on statistical analyses, the most frequent secondary functions include the following: negative interrogation, wish, disability, forbiddance, negation that those functions are harmony with lyricism’s context and structure. Because in this genre, poet ignores his whishes and confesses to his weakness and then he wants just arrive to his favourite.
