Abstract
Humor is one of the most important literary genres, which has been the subject of criticism of social issues throughout the history of literature in the land, especially after the constitutional movement. In addition to analyzing themes and targeting humor, the study of satirical works can also explore humorous techniques, which are effective in understanding and understanding audiences and in furthering their study of satirical works. Reza Rafi is one of the contemporary satirists of our country, who has satire on poetry and prose. He uses a variety of humorous techniques to convey his critical views of the country"s economic, social and cultural disruptions, which both make the audience laugh and punish officials. Although Rafi has a passion for social justice and freedom of expression in the role of a committed comedian, his humor is sweet and unmistakable. The present paper, organized in a descriptive-analytical manner, examines the themes and objectives of the Harf e ezafe book, the triple linguistic, rhetorical, and situational techniques of humor. The result of the present study, however, is that the benefit of most of the humorous techniques, especially the use of slang and colloquial language, in linguistics and transcendence, and the rhetoric of transcendence and the creation of humorous situations have been profited by the description. The authors have not been unaware of other satirical techniques such as irony, novel writing and contradiction in Rafi "Harf e ezafe" and have examined appropriate examples of the mentioned categories.
