The linguistic investigation of Bahar's odes

Bahar is the first person who wrote stylistics in a methodological and scientific manner regarding the prose and defined it scientifically. Although he didn’t live long to continue his research and do the same for the verse but he had scattered notes which later were collected. In his book of stylistics, Bahar was more concerned with the linguistic aspect rather than other subjects. The most prominent feature of Bahar’s odes is following the language of the past in all aspects especially in social and political issues the content was totally consistent with the details of the society of the day. The movement of return to the ways of the ancients manifests itself mostly through their language particularly in their poetry. In this article Bahar’s odes have been studied in terms of 1) phonology 2) morphology 3) syntax
The phonology section is concerned with the characteristics of words such as tashdid, contraction, maximization, minimization, mutation in words and music produced by the proximity of words. Morphology section deals with the employment of old words with fresh meanings and finally syntax is concerned with the structure of the languages in the past and their application in Bahar’s poetry focusing on supplements and variety of “ra”.
