Saadi’ s point of view about the establishment of a desirable society specially the role of the government and its members have been the center of attention in “Gulistan”, and “Bustan”. the topic has been addressed in the first chapter of these two books. Among the ten chapters of Bustan, the first chapter “On Justice, council and administration of government” was selected for the analysis of the governmental discourse because many stories and anecdotes mentioned in this chapter are about the administration of government and social relationships while in the other eight chapters just a few number of stories address government and relations between the essential elements of the society. The data gathered (stories in the first chapter of Bustan) is analyzed based on a critical discourse analysis approach. Among the critical discourse analysis theories, the methodology introduced by Norman Fairclough is chosen according to which the analysis of the three dimensions of text, discourse and society is based on Halliday’s Systemic Functional Grammar. The results of this research can be summarized as follows: Although Saadi’s Bustan is considered a book written to support the government of that time, and it’s not an anti-government text, Saadi’s point of view towards the government which is accompanied by the emphasis on the welfare of the poor, and the development of the country is very interesting. This can be perceived by considering both the discourse analysis data and the social conditions of that era. Manuscript profile

The value of Beihaqi's History as a literary and historical text is not overlooked by anyone. In this work, "Letters" are of special interest and analyzing them from different angles and with interdisciplinary approaches can open up new horizons. Since Amir Massoud has written letters to people with different positions, analyzing these letters in a scientific way, in addition to revealing some of its hidden angles, how the owners of power exploited the possibilities; it shows the language of domination and political goals. The "Speech Action" theory is one of the theories that can be used to analyze any type of text. This theory, first introduced by Austin and then completed by Searle, emphasizes the functional features of the spoken word tongues. Therefore, in the forthcoming study, the letters of the Amir Massoud Issue, which are listed in the first volume of the Behaqi History Book, are descriptively analyzed based on the Searl classification, first separately, then comparative, and eventually the overall form of speech performance is analyzed. According to the results of the research, the frequency of declarative actions, in addition to informing and describing the thoughts of Amir Massoud and attempting to confirm the truth of his speech show his desires and intentions. Also, the frequency of other actions and the causes and purpose of using them are shown in this article. There has also been a great deal of application of persuasive action within the context of this desire and effort, and a significant percentage of emotional action has been used as the third repetitive action in the letter to Ghadkhani due to a causal link with Ghadkhani, which expresses the Sultan's emotional spirit towards his relatives and relatives. . The low usage of accruals also reflects the king's spirit and character, which is not bound by commitment and assurance, although somewhere, Amir Masoud has given assurances of the data in cases where he has mentioned his positive qualities.

One of the subjects of semantic science is the examination of sentences from the perspective of secondary uses. The language user sometimes uses these secondary purposes of words by using rhetorical tricks to penetrate the audience in order to achieve certain goals. In this essay, using the descriptive-analytical and statistical method, the letters of Rashid al-Din under the title “Savaneh Al-afkar-e Rashidi” are examined from this point of view. Therefore, the main question of this research is what rhetorical techniques Rashiduddin used to persuade the audience in order to achieve the main function of his letters, and which rhetorical techniques are the most used as stylistic indicators in Rashiduddin's letters, and its reason what could be?The obtained results indicate that Rashid al-Din used various persuasive processes to influence the audience and persuade him, and the most used rhetorical techniques that can be considered as his stylistic features based on the science of semantics; include: "respecting and honoring audience", "emphasizing words using synonyms" and "expressing feelings and emotions". The use of each of these rhetorical processes as Rashiduddin's most prominent persuasive tricks in his letters is, on the one hand, an emphasis on Rashiduddin's cultured personality, and on the other hand, it shows the choice of rhetorical methods in effective interpersonal communication, confirming his respect to the letter audience. At the same time, Rashiduddin brings the audience with his thoughts through the frequent use of "expression of feeling", he is placed in the horizontal axis with him, and he can align him with his opinion. Therefore, Rashiduddin can be seen as an orator who used various rhetorical persuasive methods to influence the audience and persuade him, which shows Rashiduddin's special persuasive communication ability and shows his oratorical knowledge, which has received less attention in literary research. Meanwhile, it was revealed that Rashiduddin used different persuasive methods according to the personality of each audience group. Manuscript profile
