Abstract

The main issue of the current research has been to investigate and introduce the compositions in military poetry as short structures. Descriptive method and content analysis were used to conduct the research. The results of the research show that, contrary to popular opinion, combinations do not create brevity only in the syntactic-semantic structure of the poem. Rather, these compounds play a role in extensive verbal brevity at all linguistic levels (phonetic, lexical, syntactic and rhetorical). These combinations in multifaceted proportions with other elements of the axis of coexistence, twinning, both eliminate/reduce the number of linguistic units (letters and customs, words, sentence/sentences, verbs, conjunctions, adverbial, descriptive and infinitive groups) and strengthen the artistic meanings and The meaning of poetry is from music to meaning (which is beyond the normal soft abilities of language). Some of the military-made compounds are ciphers with an archetypal, hermeneutic or philosophical intertextual background that conveys a large amount of data in limited linguistic units by observing the lexical economy. Therefore, most of the compounds (and not all of them) in Nizami poetry can be considered as multi-purpose shorthand structures, which at different levels of the language (both through omission and reduction) cause comprehensive literary and discourse shorthand.
