Aims and Scope

Aims

The journal of Rhetoric and Grammar Studies (RGS) aims to serve as a premier academic platform for the advancement of Persian language and literature. The journal is dedicated to:

  • Promoting and bolstering the status of Persian language and literature both within Iran and across other Persian-speaking countries.

  • Providing a specialized research domain that highlights new perspectives, innovative theories, and rigorous academic investigations in the fields of grammar and rhetoric.

  • Prioritizing the publication of original, high-quality research that contains efficient and novel concepts derived from accurate scholarly methodologies.

  • Contributing to the scientific and intellectual progress of the field by publishing findings that hold the potential to significantly develop and evolve the disciplines of grammar and rhetoric.


Scope
The journal of Rhetoric and Grammar Studies (RGS)focuses exclusively on the specialized sub-disciplines of Persian literary studies, specifically:

  • Grammar (Syntactic and Morphological Studies): Including but not limited to Persian syntax, morphology, sentence structure, grammatical typology, and historical linguistics as it pertains to Persian grammar.

  • Rhetoric (Eloquence and Figures of Speech): Including but not limited to Persian rhetorical devices (ilm-e-badi'), eloquence (ilm-e-bayan), and the aesthetics of Persian literary expression.

  • The journal accepts the latest academic research that concentrates strictly on these specialized topics. While it operates within the broader context of Persian literature, it deliberately narrows its focus to grammar and rhetoric, ensuring a concentrated forum for researchers. The scope encourages submissions that present theoretical breakthroughs, empirical linguistic analyses, and practical applications that can drive forward the boundaries of traditional and contemporary literary research in the Persian language.
