Abstract

Layered stylistics is one of the new methods of analyzing literary texts. In this method, five layers of the text are examined, including phonetic, lexical, syntactic, rhetorical and ideological layers. In addition to the stylistic features of the text, the author's thoughts and attitudes on various topics are examined too. Attar’s Tazkirat al-Awliya can be studied based on this method due to its linguistic and intellectual prominence. In this article, the authors have studied Tazkirat al-Awliya in three lexical, syntactic and rhetorical layers through an analytical-statistical method and by dealing with the salient features of each layer. At the lexical level, words have been selected based on some background attitude. At the syntactic level, the arrangement and connection of sentences together is based on the author's purpose of the anecdote, and the choice of verbs, adverbs, prepositions and suffixes is made in order to introduce the concept according to the author's ideology. There are a lot of similes in the rhetorical layer, which increases the clarity and simplicity of the text. Attar's thoughts and ideology can be retrieved explicitly and implicitly in the study of all the three layers.
