Abstract

The current research seeks to investigate and introduce the compounds in Nezami’s poetry as short structures. A descriptive method and content analysis were used to conduct the research. The results of the research show that, contrary to the popular opinion, word combinations do not create brevity only in the syntactic-semantic structure of the poem. Rather, they play a role in extensive verbal brevity at all linguistic levels (phonetic, lexical, syntactic and rhetorical). These combinations in multiple proportions with other elements in coexistence and twinning reduce the number of linguistic units (letters and customs, words, sentence/sentences, verbs, conjunctions, adverbial, descriptive and infinitive groups) and strengthen the artistic meanings. The meaning of a poem ranges from music to connotations of words. Some compounds used by Nezami are ciphers with an archetypal, hermeneutic or philosophical intertextual background that conveys a large amount of data in limited linguistic units. This is referred to as lexical economy. Indeed, most of the compounds in Nizami’s poetry can be considered as multi-purpose shorthand structures, which cause comprehensive literary and discourse shorthand at different levels of the language through omission or reduction).
