Linguistic contemplations in some of Imam Hassan’s (P. b. h)‎ orations

Abstract EN

Imam Hassan’s orations are full of religious, rhetoric and political content since he is wise enough to control and direct people to the right side by using an effective language.

He has lived in a difficult critical period in which people are in greed, arrogance, and loss because of the regime ruler and seduction of that time.

This paper aims to study such brilliant orations linguistically through three levels: the syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic level.

It hypothesizes that parallelism and emphasis are among the most eminent syntactic structures of His orations.

Semantically, it is hypothesized that synonyms and antonyms are used in these orations while in the pragmatic level it is hypothesized that there is a kind of implied meaning behind these orations.

After analyzing several orations of Imam Hassan (p.b.h) that are collected randomly, it has been found that these hypotheses are valid.
