Equivoque is one of the techniques, tricks and possibilities of language.
This picturesque technique is considered as one of the semantic
abnormality types that occurs because of proximity and companion
based on the combination and associates the speech with ambiguity, an
element of literary language. Equivoque is a wonderful work with the
language since when the audience can infer some meanings which are
sometimes contradictory through a word or phrase, their joy and interest
in text will be increased. Although equivoque often appears in the Iraqi
style of poetry and reaches a peak in Khaghani, Hafiz, Saadi’s poems
and in spite of the fact that some believe that poets of the Indian style
did not use imagery and rhetorical techniques, it is worth mentioning
that regarding observance fitness and semantic relations of words and
parts of verses was one of the initiative trends in the Safavid era. Some
poets such as Kalim, Saeb and Biedl aptly paid full attention to imagery
and rhetorical techniques, especially equivoque. This article attempts to
recognize the equivoque and some of its types regarding imagery and
rhetorical techniques associated with the manuscript version of Kalim
Kashani’s “Padshah-nameh” (960 - 1061 AH.).
