Abstract :

Pure  writing  is  a  tendency  that  its  focal  point  rests  in  language purification of foreign elements and it could be mostly seen into prose. This cultural and political tendency has flourished after the constitutional revolution over the first Pahlavi era (1314-1320). Emphasis on the past glory of ancient Iran, nationalism and language-driven concerns were among  determinants  arisen  the  approach  and  made  Farsi  purified  of Arabic. This paper investigates the popularity and application of this writing style over recent centuries-constitutional period afterwards. Then, the most significant consequence in language planning and Academy formation has been investigated. Moreover, the study has analyzed triple Academies- monitored   by   government,   their   word-building   achievement   and pure-idealism, all aimed at language purification.
