Abstract :
Poetry is the origin of the vast possibilities of language to produce meaning and image. The possibilities that, with their wideness, only in the productive grammatical constructions cause prominence and power of the language. Jurjani (d. 471 AH) proposed these possibilities in "Theory of verse" and "Meanies of Grammar" and Hafez used them in his lasting poems. Jurjani's creative reading and his transition from a superficial look to the text, as well as his creative understanding of the constructive functions of words in producing meaning and image, regardless of the morphological and syntactic features of words, turned his gaze even from the context of words to the power and ability of language. Hafez, by mastering the features of the Persian language and understanding the function of linguistic elements, at the same time by creating beautiful and amazing effects, strengthened the role of the language in conveying meaning.In this research, in addition to the citation-analytical method in benefiting and quoting the opinions and researches and analysing their relationship with the topics under discussion, the descriptive-analytical method has been used to present new studies and achievements. The results of this research show that examining the possibilities and power of linguistic elements is necessary to understand the aesthetic issues in Hafez's poetry. Undoubtedly, his familiarity with the rhetorical wonders of the Qur'an and his mastery of the Persian language and special language possibilities have led to the production of added meanings and lasting images in his poetry.
