        1 - A study of the Types and Methods of Satire in Hafez
        Mahmood Sadeqzadeh,

        Hafez’s satire is social and political, yet it is artistic, subtle, and flexible in interpretation. However, in most cases, it is innocent, noble, deep and elegant, rooted in a logical feeling and understanding, reflected in a regretful smile.  Hafez employs two general patterns in the structure of his satire: one, the frank social satire, directly criticizing a specific class or group; second, the mediated social satire in which he recklessly introduces himself to be representing a class, complaining about himself, thus reflecting what others are suffering from. Hafez has employed whatever possible method to fight satirically against injustice, corruption, and hypocrisy. Among his major ways of satire, irony, and witticism are: violating the signs and values of the sanctity of the ascetics and Sufis; changing the objects and the words by adoption and accountability; employing literary figures such as ambiguity, euphemism, simile, and antithesis; irony, kenning, and sometimes epigrams for the beloved in the form of questions and answers and repartee; satire in the form of an advice;  panegyric writing and responsibility seeking; employing public culture and colloquialism. On the whole, Hafez’s satire is sometimes deep and sarcastic and sometimes superficial and tender which are going to be analyzed and illustrated in this paper.  Manuscript profile

        In this descriptive-analytical method, this paper attempts to introduce the methods and functions of expressive emphasis in the discourse of Hafez's Ghazalat. Emphasis is one of the mechanisms of language that is created in different ways and in different ways and has various rhetorical functions. Emphasizing the emphasis on the meaning of the text helps to better translate the thoughts and thoughts of the speaker. Emphasis is considered as one of the language mechanisms in the context of the "contingent role" and "emotional role" of the language. These roles, respectively, are "audience-focused" and "speaker-oriented" roles that seek to convey thoughts in the text to the audience and express the feelings of the speaker. Each language user uses specific methods to sharpen their words based on the idea and purpose of expressing a subject. Semantic spheres emphasized in the textual context of Hafez Ghazalat are limited to the three strands of "God, Man and Love," but unlike the limitations of these spheres, methods and expressions of emphasis in these poems are diverse and varied. Among these methods, types of repetitions, various methods of confinement and palace, the use of emphasis constraints, quandary and question sentences, imperfect verbs, high degree of certainty, pseudo-immemorial, action verbs, facial verbs, calligraphy, displacement Significant syntactic components of sentences, sentences and delayed vocabulary are more frequent than other methods. The findings of the research show that Hafez used the emphasis in two direct ways "addressed to a particular audience" and indirectly "without considering a particular audience"... Manuscript profile

        In cognitive linguistics, metaphor is not generally a linguistic or specifically a literary phenomenon. But it is a cognitive and mental one through which what we see in language is a mere representation. In fact, literary and aesthetic metaphors are just subcategories of metaphors. The present research is an attempt to study different types of metaphors in Hafez Shirazi’s poems based on cognitive linguistics. To carry out the study, first of all the sonnets were scrutinized and then instances of ontological, structural, and directional metaphors were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The results of the study revealed that the poet had used these metaphors with the frequency of 77.85%, 15.24%, and 6.91% respectively. Furthermore, the study showed that the poet had used love, mystic, rougish, eulogical, and philosophical mappings in stating ontological metaphors. he had used right, inside, outside, niche, high, front, down, base, head, and far directions to convey directional metaphors.
