Approaches and intensions (purposes) of dialogue in Mazandarani and Khorasani folk couplets
Abstract
Conversation is one of the basic devices and techniques used by the writers and poets to bestow a deeper understanding of their intensions to the reader. This literary device has three manifestations in literature: Dialogue, monologue, and homologue. Although dialogue is mostly used in dramatic literature e.g. tragedy and stories e.g. novel, it has its special aesthetics in folk literature. Through a descriptive analytical method, this study was set out to investigate the approaches types in dialogues and the purposes behind them in the couplets of Mazandaran and Khorasan. Results indicated that dialogues and monologues were mostly used in folk literature. In dialogue, purposes such as asking for a kiss from the beloved and the presence of another lover are discussed. Public dialogues, within the theoretical framework of this study, were not observed in couplets. The researchers have investigated couplets addressing the public based on the purpose of the lover asking for witness to his own purposes and intentions.
