Abstract :
Humor is one of the most important types of literature that before the constitution was often used in the form of short moral and sometimes social anecdotes, and its history in short stories dates back to after the constitution. Khosrow Shahani is one of the writers who has paid attention to this type of literature and humor can be considered as one of the prominent and influential elements in his stories. In this research, using descriptive analytical method and using statistics, Khosrow Shahani's satirical tricks have been studied in eight books (Adam Awadi, Alkiokhoshaha, Blind Knot, Damn Blind, Panic, Pahlavan Mahalla, Dr. Hippocrates' Phlox, Mysterious Object). . The findings of this study show that Shahani has used most of the satire techniques and the variety of techniques can be seen in his works; Of course, he has made the most of the techniques of minimization, verbal irony, and spatialization. In addition, Shahani pays special attention to the humor of the situation and shows great skill in expressing the pains and problems of the society in this way, so that in all the reviewed books, several stories in the humor of the situation can be seen. One of the points that can be mentioned as the distinguishing feature of Shahani's satire from the works of his contemporary satirists is his artistic use of funny names and the choice of letters to reinforce satire in the story as well as the breadth and variety of satire techniques in his works.
