RT - Journal Article T1 - The Inadequacy of Traditional Expression in the Analysis of Bidel’sPoeticImages JF - jpll YR - 2021 JO - jpll VO - 29 IS - 90 UR - http://jpll.khu.ac.ir/article-1-4016-en.html SP - 247 EP - 269 K1 - Bidel K1 - Indian Style K1 - Expression K1 - Single Techniques K1 - Compound techniques AB - The geometrical complexity of some images, especially Indian-style images, which are not found in the field of traditional expression and which have not been mentioned by scholars in the historical tradition, is such that one must use a suitable tool to analyze them. In the present study, conducted by quantitative statistical analysis, first, frequency was usedto examine and compare the number of single and compound techniques in 500 verses of Bidel’s sonnets (which were randomly selected from all over his divan).Then, the three compound techniques of “irony metaphor”, “metaphorical amphibology metaphor” and “metaphorical amphibology irony simile” were examined in the structure of images of Bidel.The results of this study show that in both verses of Bidel’s poems, there is almost onecompound technique; additionally, onethird of Bidel’s images are created with the help of these techniques, and this means that by contenting ourselves with the four elements of traditional expression (simile, metaphor, irony, and metonymy) and ignoring the literary tools of compounding, the analysis and interpretation of Bidel’spoems will be incomplete.
