Abstract :

Colloquial language in Shams' articles The words, terms, interpretations, allusions, proverbs and phrases that are popular among the people of the street and market are called colloquial language .Colloquial language has a wide reflection in Persian literary texts. This issue has a high frequency in mystical texts, especially in the words of Shams Tabrizi, because he, like other mystics, thought about the effect of his speech on the soul and psyche of the audience. Therefore, it is one of the most suitable tools. It means that colloquial language is used for fluency, simplicity and catchiness of speech. On the other hand, the peak of inner turmoil, in a maniacal mystic like Shams, breaks the structure of official language and any other framework; therefore market terms, folk tales, common beliefs, allusions, proverbs, and folk pronunciations, even evil and obscene nicknames and so on. It is abundantly seen in the words of Shams Tabrizi. .
