Investigating conversation style in Anvari’s poem

Seyyedeh Samira Seyyed Khoshk Bijari (Author in Charge)

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: conversation and debate are among the main methods used by poets and authors to express what is in their mind. In this study, we aim to investigate conversations in Anvari’s poems (30 poems: 28 stanzas and 2 odes). The quantity of these conversations is relatively low compared to other poems of Anvari, but they still are remarkable.

METHODOLOGY: in this study, data are collected in library and then, they are analyzed qualitatively based on content analysis method. All anvari’s conversations are considered in terms of type of poetry, subject, purpose, content, model, structure, tone and the speakers/parties. In selecting conversations, in some cases, we just considered the very verses containing conversation, and the research is mainly focused on number of such verses, not all verses in poetry; however, in stanzas, the conversations are often taken into account in the whole poem.

FINDINGS: in most of these conversations, one of the parties is human being and sometimes the other party is Anvari himself; in such cases, he usually wins the debate. Of these 30 poems about 13 conversations have socio-moral subject and the rest (14 cases) are versified either to eulogize someone or express complaint about life, or that they have theme of boasting, humor and joke or satire which are classified in lyric literature.
