The study of the time element effects in the underplotted anecdotes of Marzban-Nameh

Abstract

The time element is a kernel component and organizer of the narrative stories. The paper illustrates time element and its influence in the underplotted anecdotes of Marzban-Nameh. To this end, the most frequent lingual signs in those anecdotes were analyzed carefully on the basis of efficient theories and points of view. First of all, three groups of grammar structures, figures of speech and lingual symmetries which are the most common and effective lingual signs in the narrative speed were studied from the speed and function point of view. Then, by studying all of the signs that have effects on the speed, in all of the narratives from the point of view of philosophy, the speed of mentioned anecdotes was evaluated. The findings revealed that the speed and dynamism are common in the studied narratives. Also, the number of dynamic or static signs is mostly related to the verb of sentence. It means that if the verb of a sentence is dynamic, all or the most of that sentence signs are dynamic and vice versa. So, the author applied an especial style to effectively use the signs and manage the narrative speed in each sentence.
