Analyzing the linguistic characteristics of Alinameh Rabi and Khavarannameh of Ebn Hosam Khosfi

"Alinameh" is an epic-historical poem which is undoubtedly the most valuable epic-historical poem in the Persian language after Ferdowsi's epic. This epic, in addition to its literary and artistic values, has unique historical and religious value, And it can be said that it is the only surviving Shie epic from previous centuries. Khavarannameh is also a literary work that was written in 830AH and its author was Ebn Hosam Khosfi from Ghahestan, Khorasan. And he has composed his poem in Bahre Motaghareb and with the weight of Shahnameh. The subject of Khavarannameh is the wars of Ali Ebn Abi Taleb (a.s.) in the land of Khavaran with Malek Ashtar and Ghobad, the king of the East and TahmasabShah. According to Ebn Hosam, this poem was compiled from an Arabic book- this poem is also called Taziannameh. Considering that these two works were written in two different times and with separate motivations, and considering the literary and artistic value of both works, the comparative study of these two epic-religious systems from different perspectives can be important. In this research, the linguistic level of two systems has been studied.

The research method in this study is descriptive-analytical and library-style. The studied community is Alinameh Rabi edited by Reza Bayat and Abolfazl Gholami and Khavarannameh by Ebn Hossam Khosfi, which, due to the lack of publication of its complete poem, was used from Taziannameh (summary of Khavarannameh) edited by Hamidollah Moradi.

Discuss:

These two systems will be examined at three levels: linguistic, phonetic and syntactic (grammatical). In the examination of the language features - this level, which itself includes three parts, word, phonetic and syntactic - has examined the simplicity, root, type, subject and various combinations of words in Alinameh and Khavarannameh, and examples have been mentioned for each of them. In examining the phonetic features among the large number of verses of two epopees, sometimes we come across a few verses that have flaws in terms of rhyme. To correct the rhythm of the verses, sometimes it is necessary to change the pronunciation of the words, read an extra letter or reduce the letters. Examples of these cases are mentioned in this section; and in examining the structural features to such things as saturated letter, prayer letter; The method of counting numbers has been discussed.

The results of this study showed that both systems have slight problems at the linguistic level in terms of choosing words; But linguistic variety and composition were more in Khavarannameh. The high frequency of Arabic words, compounding, and repeated phrases were common features of the two opopees. At the phonetic level, in both opopees, there were slight defects in terms of rhyme and weight. The features of Khorasani style were more in Alinameh than in Khavarannameh. At the syntactic level, both systems had slight deviations from norms.
