Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Syntactic stylistics is a branch of layered stylistics that examines the grammatical features and sentence structure in a literary work. Syntactic stylistics has a systematic structure that examines the connection between form and content and discovers the unique style of a poet or a writer that is hidden behind the verbal intentions. In this approach, the stylist goes beyond the level of vocabulary and achieves the discovery of the structural beauties of a work.

METHODOLOGY: This study, using a descriptive-analytical method, examines the issue of syntactic patterns, deviations from standard language, and stylistic individualization of Rumi in the story "Moses and the Shepherd" through syntactic stylistics.

FINDINGS: Marked clauses have a higher frequency in this story. Most sentences are short, and compound sentences do not have a complex structure. The shortness of sentences has accelerated the narrative expression and transmission of thought. Discrete and co-based style, unlike dependent, connected and nested style, has a high frequency and has created more rhythm in the story narration.

CONCLUSION: Semantic and grammatical connections have strengthened and integrated the text. The news aspect has a high frequency compared to other types of aspects in this story. Therefore, the syntactic structure of the sentences is considered effective in explicitly conveying Rumi"s mystical and romantic thoughts.
