Abstract

 Faez Dashti (1834-1911) is one of the southern lyricists and representatives of folk poetry and popular and indigenous literature of this region, who pays special attention to didacticism. He has been called the most emotional poet of the common people and folk culture. With an overview of Fayez's couplets, one can understand the presence of his emotion and delicate feeling and poetic taste along with various local elements. In his romantic and lyrical poems, he has referred to moral and educational issues and has effectively used rhetorical tools, especially semantics. He has been successful in conveying moral concepts and teaching them to its audience, using semantics and its appropriate tools such as interrogative, declarative, and imperative sentences in an effective way, hence simultaneously highlighting the presence of the audience in the text. In this research, the authors have studied this category of sentences and their secondary meanings in a library-oriented descriptive-analytical manner. And, the highlights of the three topics of semantics, namely interrogative, imperative, and declarative as well as their function and effect in conveying the poet's didactic themes effectively in his romantic and lyrical and poems have been discussed and explained.
