Abstract :
Semantic research is one of the branches of linguistic research that is rooted in the views of Islamic thinkers and their linguistic and rhetorical books. In recent decades, these studies have been transformed into a special and methodical science by western thinkers, which has a framework and fundamental principles. Linguistics emphasizes both the word and the meaning, and semantics, as one of its sub-branches, aims to clarify the semantic implications of words and how words relate to meaning, and therefore defines the underlying semantic layers of words. This research, in a descriptive-analytical way, and by using linguistic levels, seeks to discover the meanings behind the hidden words in the poems of Suniyeh Saleh, and among them, it only analyzes the lexical, phonetic, and rhetorical levels. At the lexical level, the signification of semantic fields and its prominent role in the description of the meanings and main purposes of writers are mentioned. In these semantic fields, words find their true and underlying meanings by being placed next to other words, therefore, the poet uses these semantic fields and depicts her inner feelings and emotions with objective and mysterious images to place the audience in a completely tangible space and guide her to reach the desired meaning. At the phonetic level, based on her goals, the poet uses letters and words that have a special and beautiful music and are in harmony with the current requirements.
