The dictionaries written in the subcontinent have considered these issues. BaharAjam is one of them containing 19729 entries, vocabularies, combinations, proverbs as well as plenty of poems ranging from Khorasani style to the Hindi one. In this research, this dictionary has been precisely studied and then the examples of each entry and the quotation methods have been mulled over. The examples of the entries in this dictionary have divided into three categories: poetry, prose, and example. The poetic predominance of Persian cultures up to the time of the writing of BaharAjamdictionary and the greater attention of Persian students of the sub-continent to the category of poetry has been the reason for the abundance of poetic examples. Prose examples also show the importance of the sources of such instances at the time of writing BaharAjam and the lexicographer's more attention towards not transcribing previous poetry dictionaries, although some examples indicate the educational aspect of this culture. In the second part, the twelve ways of quoting in BaharAjam dictionary are mentioned with examples. Moreover, these methods indicate the sensitivity of LaleTikchand to the materials of BaharAjam dictionary and to educate and reassure the users of this culture, who have mostly been Persian language educators.

In MoreOne 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 -

Understanding and expressing the abstract concept of politeness is only possible through objective concepts; That is, the understanding of these abstract concepts is facilitated by expressing these concepts in an objective form. Since encoding the concept of politeness in language is a linguistic feature that shapes the surrounding environment and changes over time; In this research, we will express the concept of politeness in the Persian language objectively and concretely and we will try to answer the question that "does the Iranian Persian-speaking community use the possibilities of expressing politeness more than before and as a result if these possibilities have increased in Farsi?" In other words, "Has the Persian-speaking society become more polite?" In fact, we want to know if the Iranian society has become more polite in the past five decades or not. In order to find the answer to this question, we have to examine the cognitive and mental representation of the concept of politeness in the Persian language in order to determine whether it has had a downward or upward trend. In order to investigate this issue, several different linguistic tools, including the frequency of occurrence of conceptual metaphors, permissible metaphors, idioms, euphemisms, and figures of speech. This study can show the changes of politeness over time and the possible reasons (social, political, and cultural reasons) of these changes in the Persian language in each decade. Based on this, the cognitive model of the Persian language can be presented from the point of view of politeness. The body examined in this research includes the following: speeches of political officials, movies, press texts (newspapers and magazines) and songs. The results of the research show that rudeness has been on the rise over the past 50 years. Manuscript profile -

4 - Analyzing the Place of Nostalgia in Iranian Immigration Fiction with an Emphasis on Selected Female Authors (Akram Pedramnia, Nasim Wahabi, Fahima Farsai, Fariba Siddiquim)

The basic issue of this research is to answer the question of how such a component is reflected in women's fiction. The number of female Iranian immigrant writers, as well as the fact that some of them have a style in immigration fiction, shows the importance and necessity of such a study. The purpose of this research is to investigate the place of the nostalgia component in the selected and prominent stories of immigrant women storytellers after the Islamic Revolution, using a descriptive-analytical method. The hypothesis of the research is that nostalgia is one of the most important and significant components of form and content in the investigated works. The results of the research show that nostalgia in the works of AkramPedramnia takes the audience to the atmosphere of the past with a detailed description of the past and this nostalgia reminds of a special person. Another technique that Pedramnia uses to create a sense of nostalgia is image. Nostalgia in Nasim Wahhabi's works is narrated from the aspect of a space - like the space of war. Nostalgia appears in FahimaFarsai's works in a disturbing way for the characters in the story. In the works of FaribaSediqim, nostalgia refers to situations that a person has experienced with his friends and relatives. Nostalgia for objects and places is not seen in Siddiquim's works. The important feature of the reflection of nostalgia in Siddiquim's works is that the nostalgic events are shown in a fluid form of the mind and the narrator talks about the past as if it is happening right now.

Phantasies whose origin is the desires stored in the unconscious and their main function is to provide abstract conditions for the mental satisfaction of these desires and wishes. That is, a person who is unable to fulfill his desires in reality creates conditions to satisfy his desires during dreaming. The same trick that Tata, the main character of the novel "BanouGavazn(Mrs. Deer)" uses to vent her anger. The novel "Banou Gavazn (Mrs. Deer)" is one of the contemporary fiction works that attracted the attention of readers and critics after its publication. A narrative whose main axis is the fantasy of the main character in the mind and the effects of this type of fantasy in real life. Considering the success of this novel among the audience as well as the author's special view on the concept of psychological fantasy in the design of the narrative, in this article, through the analytical-descriptive method, an attempt will be made to investigate the origins of the tendency towards fantasy in the main character and the characteristics of this fantasy. The results show that the anger resulting from Tata's troubled past, along with the anger from the conditions of unwanted pregnancy, causes her to settle accounts with the culprits of her life conditions by using the symbolic characteristics of the deer such as anger, agility, cruelty and masculinity. A destructive anger that ultimately has negative effects on "Tata" herself. Manuscript profile
