Brief repetition (Ahmad Ghazali's personal style based on Spitzer's approach)

In researches on Stylistics، the style is classified into two categories: personal style and general (periodic) style. In general stylistics، texts are examined based on common elements of styles in a certain period. However، in personal style، personal and psychological characteristics of author are considered so that the style of each author is evaluated in relation to factors such as taste، preference، ideology، and scientific and social status. Leo Spitzer is one of stylists who believe that the stylistics depends on the recognition of author’s mood and characteristics، and accordingly he offers his method of stylistics based on three stages. This paper tries to reveal the value of personal style in researches on stylistics based on the stages of Spitzer’s theory. For this reason، Ahmad Ghazali’s treatise “Savaneh” was selected as a practical example of this project and it was investigated Ghazali’s personal style in writing the treatise “Savaneh”.
