The dual attitude towards the nature of summer and the winter highland pastures in the nomadic life (Yeilaq and Qeshlaq, respectively) is one of the important issues reflected in the Barzegari poems in Bakhtiari culture. The importance of investigating these attitudes is that they shape the way people deal with nature and can lead to positive or negative effects in this regard. Accordingly, the aim of this research is to represent the attitude towards the nature of Yeilaq and Qeshlaq in the linguistic and rhetorical layers of Barzegari poems using documentary-based research. The results from the study show that there is a dual attitude towards the nature of Yeilaq and Qeshlaq in Barzegari poems such that the description of Yeilaq nature is positive, paradise-like, and induces passion, ebullition, and life; but the image of Qeshlaq nature is a negative, ugly, black, and hell-like image that indicates violence. The comparative, complementary, and negated lexical antonym, marked lexicons, places naming, rhyme and repetition music, moods of the verb and adjective, explicit metaphor, personification, simile, and irony have been used to reflect this dual attitude towards nature.

Keywords: Bakhtiari culture, Barzegari poems, nature, dual attitude, linguistic and rhetorical layers.
