Abstract :

The basis of literary words is breaking the norm and the rules of standard language. In literary words, the place of the components of speech is determined by rhetoric. One of the linguistic elements that has a high mobility in the language structure and through this can be the basis for the formation of literary words, is clitic personal pronoun. In this study, changing the clitic personal pronoun place in Saadi’s ghazal has been reviewed and analyzed from two aspects; one is the rhetorical aspect and the other is the different types of movements in terms of joining to the sentence components. The result of this research shows that clitic pronoun shift has a high frequency in Saadi’s ghazal. Apart from the necessity of rhythm and music, there are other rhetorical motives that have also played a role in the displacement of this linguistic element.
