Analysis of linguistic roles in the Zal myth based on Jakobson's theory of communication

Ferdowsi, in his work, has spoken in the corpus of narrated stories of myths. In many cases, cipher and allegory are included in the mythological concept. The story of Zal is one of the most perverse of them, which has a different expression for the narrative of cultural adventures and messages. This research, while analyzing the linguistic and communicative elements of language, message, audience and sender, is based on the verbal communication pattern of Kaboson, to re-examine the codes and symbols. Accordingly, the focus is on the role of phrasalism. The extent of the effect of linguistic roles on readers and the frequency of each of them, identification, ciphers and parables included in the Zal story, the understanding and reception of implicit abstract concepts, which are implicitly expressed, are the objectives of the research. The results of the study show that language roles are an effective tool for understanding secondaray meanings and interpreting the symbolic language of myth and is also a criterion for classifying allegorical and symbolic works in the epic context. Also, a good way to find out the extent to which cryptographic, inclusive messages are addressed to readers. In the end, it must be acknowledged that the aesthetics of epic and mythical stories are more and more evident in the light of this theory.
