  Following the advent of printing industry in Iran and the publishing of the first Iranian newspapers by the Gajar Court, its growth and revival, a new literary genre, journalistic genre, found its way into the Persian prose.  Since at that time, this journalistic language was quiet new in the country, articles of newspapers were written in the same eloquent style as was used for writing Court correspondences.  This difficult language was neither well understood nor liked by the public, since it did not reflect their pains, complaints and their wishes.  Thus, it was not well received by the people and with the victory of Constitutional Revolution and the freedom of journalism from the absolute monopoly of Court, this sublime style began to decline. This article by painting a picture of the journalistic atmosphere of Gajar Court, discusses its prose features, and deals with the reasons for its decline.   Manuscript profile

  Upon the victory of Constitutional Revolution, journalism came out of the monopoly of the court, and its adorned style soon fell out of favor.  In this way at the same time that language as a means of power was set free from the influence of the court, freedom of speech began its short illuminating period.  Dehkhoda who was regarded as one of the key literary figures of his time, in his political struggle, resorted to language and writing.  He introduced in his prose variety of language genres that existed in that social climate and set it against the unique language of the Court.  Taking advantage of the colloquial language, he removed the gap that existed for centuries between the written and spoken language and in this way paved the way for simplifying the Farsi writing style.  This article is concerned with the study of Dehkhoda’s journalistic prose style and it demonstrates the different styles he has employed in his fight through the language.
