Abstract

The aim of this research is to study and investigate the structure and meaning of repeated compounds in two works by Nizami, namely "Khosrow and Shirin" and "Makhzen al-Asrar". In these two works, Nizami has used repetition, along with other word-building methods such as compounding, derivation, compound-derivation and reduction. In Nizami's Khosrow and Shirin, repeated compounds can be examined in the form of noun, verb and adjective groups. The method in this research is descriptive-analytical and all examples of verb, adverb and adjective in the two mentioned works of Nizami are examined. The most important findings of this research show that among the types of repetition, the poet has used both its patterns, namely complete and incomplete repetition and their various branches. There are repetitions in the two works mentioned by Nizami: such as noun + noun, noun + interjection + noun, object + interjection + object, adjective + interjection + adjective, countable number + interjection + countable number, adverb + adverb, adverb + interjection + adverb, prayer sentence with a combination of the letter neda and manada + exclamatory sentence with the same combination, infinitive + infinitive, noun + interjection + subjects or the imperfect form of a noun, object + interjection + object from the root of object. Most of the repeated nominal combinations in Khosrow and Shirin and Makhzan-ul-Asrar are complete repetitions of the middle addition with grammatical morphemes. Most of the repeated adjective and adverbial combinations in Khosrow and Shirin and Makhzan-ul-Asrar are complete repetitions of the middle addition with grammatical morphemes. In addition to artistic form, these repetitions show the lexical structure and development of the Persian language.
