خلاصة:
Humor is an artistic way of expressing goals and includes techniques that have been prominently used in contemporary Arabic and Persian literature by many writers. Among the satirists, we can mention Kamel al-Kilani in Arabic and Farhad Hassanzadeh in Persian literature, who use simple vocabulary and expression based on language usage techniques and language content in their children's stories. Therefore, the researchers have tried to use content analysis to examine the techniques of humor in the two children’s stories, “Haza al-Tanbouri and al-Arands” by Kamel Kilani and “The Demon with a Pot on Its Head and Bon Appétit Mr. Goat” by Farhad Hassanzadeh, based on the comparative method of the American school. The findings of the research indicate that there is linguistic simplicity and tonal differences in the two stories; however, both writers use common techniques of humor in their stories such as miniaturization, exaggeration, verbal humor, situational humor, simile, repetition, contrast, proverb, and irony. Both of them have a didactic and educational aim mixed with entertainment, which they try to attain by the use of mental imagery, exaggeration, choice of words and common expressions in the society. Nevertheless, Farhad Hassanzadeh’s language in humor is simpler and more common and childish, while Kilani’s language is more complete in terms of analogies and linguistic qualities.
