Gholam Hossein Sharifi Veldani(Author in Charge), Tahere Khoshhal Dastjerdi, Morteza Abbasi

Abstract
Nowadays, most attributes given to the expressive mode of Sa’adi’s works all are under the shadow of the ease and abstainer of his words; attributes fluency, sweetness, rhetoric, eloquence, freshness, firmness, innovation, etc. but ease and abstainer is not the only characteristics of Sa’adi’s words. In other words, this characteristics has not been achieved in vain and some factors have been at work to create such a result. In the present study, it has been tried that using a bulk of pieces of evidnce and instances available in Kollyyat of Sa’adi, two expressive characteristics of his words, i.e. comparative antithesis and invisible repetition can be investigated in order that this result that how Sa’adi at the maximum of ease expresses his ideas that others have could not reproduce an equivalent. In other words, it can be thought that description of “ease and abstainer” is not the very sense of Sa’adi’s words, but this characteristics is its nature and has inevitably originates from his mode f expression because it has been only “structure” and “meaning” that have motivated critics and literary researchers to describe such an attribute and the aim of the present study is to find that characteristic and the invisible eloquence of Sa’adi’s words as the belongings of that characteristics.
