The high-frequency features of the works are recognized via each of the sub-layers of this style. Sherveh is a type of public poetry in south of Iran that became popular and developed during the period of literary return. The stylistics of literary genres that emerge in particular spatial, cultural, and geographical contexts can help to identify literary genres and the richness of literary history accurately.

The statistical population of the study including Mahya, Fayez, Baqer Lari"s Sherveh and the books concerned with Sherveh khani in south of Iran by Ali Babachahi, Dashti and Dashtestan by Abdolmajid Zangooyee, local songs of Fars by Sadeq Homayooni and folk literature of Bushehr is written by Abdullah Rezaei. Data were collected in the way of documents and libraries.

FINDINGS: Shervehha, which are the most vital lyric types of public poetry in the south of Iran, has used other linguistic possibilities and literary techniques to literalize their text considering their meter, exclusive format, content, connection with music and short structure as a literary genre.
