Fatemeh Moradi (Author in Charge)

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: One of the theorists of structuralism is "Roman Jakobson". His theory of verbal communication model is based on the fact that any communication between the speaker and the addressee is based on six factors: sender, receiver, communication channel, contact, code and subject. One of the communication roles in these six roles is the "persuasive role of language" in which the message is directed towards the addressee and the narrator tries to establish a connection with his addressee by using imperative and prohibitive sentences, quasi-sentences and exclamations. In Parvin Etesami"s Divan, the poet, by using numerous imperative and prohibitive sentences, exhorts the addressee to convey his message to him through linguistic tools and the persuasive role of language. The poet has used this method in various types of intransitive and transitive sentences of two, three and four parts and has used this method to express concepts with religious, mystical, cultural, political and social themes. Which indicates that in Parvin Etesami"s poetry collection, the use of persuasive methods in communicating with the audience is very effective.

METHODOLOGY: The research method in this article is descriptive-analytical based on library studies and writings related to Roman Jakobson’s structuralist theory and the communicative roles of language, especially the persuasive role of language. The statistical population of the research is Parvin Etesami"s poetry collection.

FINDINGS: The findings indicate that Parvin Etesami has used the persuasive role of language, which is one of the communicative roles in structuralist theory, to have a greater impact on the audience.

CONCLUSION: The poet of the didactic literature type, by using various methods of persuasive roles of language, including imperative and prohibitive sentences and making the audience the target, has added to the effect of her words and has encouraged the audience to accept the message of her poems. He has used the persuasive role of language in most concepts and themes such as: mystical-religious, cultural, and political-social, and his approach to his audience has been based more on the persuasive theory of language.
