Abstract :

Rhetorical forms are important elements of semantics that, in addition to linguistic functions, have a tremendous effect on the outcome of meaning. Ferdowsi and Nezami are so intertwined with word and meaning that on the one hand in linguistic richness and on the other hand reinforcement of meaning is very important. Irony is one of the forms of expression and artistic style of speech and usually has a high frequency in the poetry of poets, and military and Ferdowsi speech and poetry are no exception to this rule. The purpose of writing this article is a comparative study of irony in Khosrow and Shirin Ferdowsi and Nezami. The research method is descriptive-quantitative. The results showed that the number of allusions in Khosrow and Shirin Nezami is far more than the allusions of Khosrow and Shirin Ferdowsi. The irony is more than the verb in the military work and Ferdowsi has used the irony of the name and adjective more in this. The reflection and frequency of cryptic allusions, implication and elaboration are low in both works, its percentage is very low in Khosrow and Shirin Nezami, but no frequency was found in Khosrow and Shirin Ferdowsi.
