Abstract

The connection between music and poetry is noteworthy from two perspectives. The first is the subject of songs and different parallels of words that form the musical field of poetry, and the second is the use of musical instruments and terms in poetry. Poets of different eras have created various images and meanings using musical instruments. The lute is one of the musical instruments that Persian poets have used in various ways in their poems since Roudaki’s era and have provided many images, meanings, and lexical links. Analyzing the evolution in the use of the lute from a stylistic point of view can show the creativity or imitation of different poets. Therefore, in the present study, we have composed a corpus of 79 poets consisting of five sections and 360 poems so as to describe the corresponding imagery through structural methods and content analysis. The results of the research show that the 6th to 8th century is the peak of imagery and meaning creation with this ancient instrument. This tool has mostly been used as the rhetorical device, and lexical links are in the second order. Also, semantic and thematic interpretations can be seen in different periods of the Persian poetry. Among the poets of all eras, Khaghani has made the most varied use of the lute image in terms of both the frequency of verses containing the image and the variety in the use of the word lute.
