A look at the colloquial language structure of Shams Tabrizi's Magalat

Part of the style of a text is related to its linguistic features and syntactic structure. Shams's Magalat are largely disorganized due to their colloquial nature and disorganization in note-taking; however, they are more organized in the revised and correspondence sections. This descriptive-analytical essay examines and analyzes the linguistic aspects and syntactic structure of Shams's Magalat, which Professor Movahed has rarely addressed, and answers the question of what linguistic features the prose of the articles has. The findings show that Shams's Magalat is didactic and imperative, and he mostly seeks to convey meaning, so a special brevity dominates his speech, which has led to the frequent use of verbs and continuous pronouns in his speech. In addition, the predominance of short, coherent sentences leads his sentence-building process to moderation in the use of simple and compound sentences. The connection of the vertical axis and its influence on the form of the story and narrative, in the clauses and parts of his speech, are special features of Shams' Magalat, and the shifting of syntactic elements, which is mostly based on the importance of the part of the extension or delay, and the explanation and creation of space, and sometimes the addition of a forgotten part, has a special frequency. The combination of prose with poetry and Arabic with Persian, religious allusions, allegorical arguments, and narrations, are indicative of his skill in preaching and knowledge, which he has repeatedly shown politely towards Rumi. His insults to his enemies are also merciless. The limited use of Arabic words, the presence of old Persian words, the simplicity and fluency of the text, the use of narration and allegory, the use of simile, realism, and the benefit of the metaphysics of presence and body language, the reference to verses, narrations, and stories, the combination of verse and prose, and the educational and commanding tone, despite being technical, have made his prose tend toward the prose of the great Mursal such as the History of Bayhaqi and the Qaboos-nameh.
