Abstract:
Syntactic structures somehow reflect our perception of outer and inner facts، and express the relations established by our minds among the things and concepts in terms of linguistic forms. Such a process is unconscious. Poets، however، employ the syntactic patterns to some degree consciously so that they would effectively express their thoughts and emotions. Predisposition of verb is a defamiliarized syntactic pattern whose functions here have been studied in Sa’di’s sonnets. Structure functions of this pattern are to create forceful musical effects، keeping sentences length short، extendibility، completing the meaning، and structural cohesion. Predisposition of verb has also semantic functions including meaning extension، emphasis، magnification، minimization، generalizing palace and time، brevity، interpretability، suspension and expectance، prominence of descriptions، movement and dynamism، emotional incitement، creating images and pleasure، semantic cohesion. Thus، predisposition of verb is considered as one of the reasons for the beauty of Sa’di’s sonnets which along his skillful use of other linguistic techniques make readers share in poet’s thought and emotions.

Scientific-Research Quarterly "Persian Language and Literature Research" Issue 18, Autumn 2010: 170-143 Date Received: 06/21/2009 Date Accepted: 03/07/2010 An Analytical Comparison of the Two Tales of Anahid and the Kerman Prince in Armenian and Persian Literature Mohammadreza Nasrasfahani 1 Jamshid Mazaheri 2 Arman Manasarian 3 Abstract Keywords: Corresponding Author: Assistant Professor, Department of Persian Language and Literature, University of Isfahan M.
The tales examined in this article, the tales of "Vachagan and Anahid" and "The Kerman Prince," possess the aforementioned historical, political, religious, and social influences in the layers of their plots.
The difference between these two motifs and the tales under investigation is that, unlike the social plots of Thompson's motifs, the tales of the Kerman Prince and Anahid also possess a religious aspect, which testifies to the fundamental role of religion in the Orient; for in the tale of the Kerman Prince, the narrator saves the Muslims by killing the pagans, and Anahid saves the Christians by killing the priest.
Folklore Characteristics of the Tales Identifying the creator and the original narrator of the tales "Vachagan and Anahid" and "The Prince of Kerman" is almost impossible, because these works are popular and inherently collective 1 .
The unified plot of these tales has not occurred due to the formation of all actions around the main heroes (Vachagan and the Kerman Prince), but rather due to the formation of different parts; namely, the actions of the heroes and secondary characters, in order to embody subjects and ideas.
