Abstract

Aqa Seyed Ahmad Razavi, also known as Adib Pishawari, is regarded as one of the most distinguished poets of the Persian Constitutional Revolution period. As we know, stylistics is a useful device for identifying the human, scientific, literary and ideological identity of the poet. Hence, in this article, in order for the recognize the perspective of the Poet towards the surrounding world and determine the position of Adib Pishawari’s poems, an attempt has been made to study the stylistic features and the highlights of his poems in three distinct levels of language, literature and thought. The study and investigation of these features depict the fact that Adib Pishawari wrote his poems in 29 meters among which Bahr-e-Ramal and Bahr-e-Sari have the highest and the lowest frequencies. In the rhyming scheme of the poems, the letters “sh” and “r” are mostly set on the surface position, and approximately 88.44% of the poems have Radif in which linking verbs are more frequent. Adib has mostly used archaic and obsolete combinations and he seems to have had special attention to the myths as well as Shahnameh terms. From the linguistic point of view, he has written his poems in Khorasani style. The most and the least frequent literary devices in his poetries are simile and metonymy in respect, and the most functional figures of speech used in his poems are: repetition, pun, symmetry, paradox, hyperbole etc.

Attention to the internal and literary rhythm, foregrounding the concepts and themes as well as the artistic and purposeful use of the lingual and literary elements are considered to be the most prominent features of his exclusive style.
