Abstract
The poetries of Sheevan Foumani are various from the conceptual and functional views.These stylistic varieties in poetries represent the frequency of experience that by means of them the poet incorporates component of meaning to the linguistic community of poetries.He carries out the aim by using the symbolic units in a specific style.Since the most of his poetries are symbolic and symbols of poetries are manifested in the forms of attributes,identification,personalization,impersonalization,the current research aims at investigating the semantic components of poetries of Fokhos and Aghadar in accordance with sociolinguistics. Also, it aims at drawing discursive boundaries through the symbolic representation of social actors based on the discursive functions.Therefore, two combined models of socio-semantic of Van Leeuwan and semio-semantic of Paris have been chosen to achieve these goals.As a main purpose,this research investigates the features of the model of Van Leeuwan on poetries.Consequently,the critical approach of the semio-semantic analysis of Paris tries to explain the discursive boundaries of poetries. Primarily by implementing the model of Van Leeuwan on verses, the results of research indicated that the representation of social actors in two poetries has been mostly formed by the factor of impersonalization. Moreover, based on the saliency of impersonalization, the semio-semantic analysis of poetries is formed by instrumenting this component in the direction of creating discursive spaces and the result indicated that discursive functions of appeasement,resistance,and insistence are often organized in textual layers that are related to the subcomponents of impersonalization.

Abstract
The present study aimed to examine the use of different levels of syntactic architecture in written personal and fictional narratives in both Persian and English across three discourse communities, namely Persian native speakers, English native speakers, and Iranian EFL learners. To this end, the participants of the study were selected based on convenience sampling and were asked to write one of their happiest memories. Also, an English fable from Aseop's fables and a Persian story, chosen based on comparative literature and having the similar plot, were given to them to read and write whatever they remembered; there was no limit on the number of words and paragraphs. To analyze the data, the Berman and Nir-Sagiv's (2009) model was followed. The findings showed that in fictional narratives written by both Persian and English native speakers, isotaxis, asymmetric parataxis, complement (CMP), and parataxis levels were frequently employed; however, personal narratives in Persian were dominantly isotactic, paratactic, and asymmetric paratactic, CMP, while isotactic, hypotactic, and paratactic levels were frequent in English written personal narratives. Also, after receiving explicit instruction on different types of English sentences, the use of adverbial and relative clauses (hypotaxis level) increased in Iranian EFL learners' written narratives. It can be concluded that explicit teaching of syntactic levels enabled EFL learners to arrange their sentences correctly to express their intended meaning. Teachers can benefit from the results to gain a more comprehensive understanding of narrative connectivity and help EFL learners elaborate clause linkage in their written narrative tasks.

Abstract
Perceiving beauty is, in fact, a perception that is originated in mystical-experimental religiosity. In this regard, Molavi's view is not a mere theory; rather it is an expression of his practical experience and inner conduct. In his experience, love precedes the Good and God is situated on top of the pyramid of the Good. Molavi takes love as his most important object and searches perceiving beauty in God. Through conceiving beloved in God, the lover achieves high stages of perceiving the divine Good. In Molavi’s view, beauty is reflected in men's perception before it is realized in its external manifestations. And this is exactly the meaning of relativity in the conception of beauty and evil. In this connection, even the most evil manifestations of vice are considered. Perceiving beauty does not attempt to negate the evil in this world by philosophical simplifications and deification of beauty. In fact, it reveals its inner beauty through a profound interpretation of the evil. Molavi uses the parable of a painter in this context to interpret the world with a perception of beauty. The painter here is someone whose most important feature is beauty and is skillful in creating beauty. Therefore, Molavi's worldview of the Good is not just a theory. Neither is it merely a philosophical solution for negating evil. It is rather the natural result of his reconciliation with the world.

Abstract
In translation studies, meaning is at the center of translation practice. Since Systemic Functional Linguistics considers language as a meaning making resource, it is arguedthat such an approach could serve as a helpful tool for translator. In Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), any text encodes three kinds of meanings or meta-functions. Traditionally, translators and evaluators of translations have mostly focused on one aspect of meaning, i.e., the ideational, in particular experiential. Using a descriptive-analytic method within the SFL, this study is aimed to investigate the way in which the interpersonal meaning of the dialogues between God and the Devil is exchanged in four Suras of Araf, Hijr, Isra and Saad and its role in Quran’s translation. The results show that, taking into consideration the constitutive components of clause as exchange and awareness of interpersonal meta-functional analysis, the translator of Quran will have an appropriate and concrete model in hand for investigating the way of exchanging meaning and will be able to evaluate the quality of his translation. However, regarding the specific characteristics of Quran language, the network unity of verses, the existence of Wujuh and multiple semantic layers of Qur'an and hence the infinitude of Quran, generally this approach would not be adequately helpful in the field of commentary of Quran.

Abstract
Unwillingness-to-communicatation in a foreign language (UTC) on the part of learners, which is a tendency to avoid oral communication, is one of the main problems of language teachers. In a way, if the source of this unwillingness is determined, language teachers can decide better about those students who seem reluctant in the communication and usually avoid interactions. Yet the extent of this unwillingness is not constant among different individuals and it can be the result of many diverse factors. This study has focused on the relationship between the students' personality traits and their UTC, and the role of gender in the levels of UTC. In so doing, two highly validated measures of NEO Five Factor Model (NEO-FFM) and UTC scale of unwillingness to communicate were administered to 250 participants from four universities. The results of step-wise multiple regression showed that, from the five factors of personality (extraversion, neuroticism, conscientiousness, openness to experience and agreeableness), extraversion was the best predictor of UTC. The second and the third predictive variables were neuroticism and conscientiousness, respectively. While extraversion and conscientiousness had a negative relationship with UTC, neuroticism had a positive correlation. Moreover, the results of t-test proved no significant difference between the two groups of males and females with respect to their levels of UTC. In the end, drawing on the relevant literature, the results of the study have been discussed and the importance of findings has been explicated for teachers and language teaching practitioners.

Abstract
This paper aims at a Jungian reading of Shazdeh Ehtejab and thus tries to find the traces of archetypes in the novel. Among the most important archetypes and primordial images that have found expression in the text, one can mention the hero archetypes, the images of water, fire, desert, colors and numbers along with the archetypes associated with Jung’s theory of individuation, i.e., the shadow, the persona and the anima. I have tried to use this conceptual framework to shed light on the way one can interpret different characters of Golshiri’s novel. Thus in my reading the grandfather symbolizes the devil while the prince himself is the exemplification of the hero archetype

Abstract
This paper is based on an interpretive ethnography conducted in a public organization ("Edareh"). This paper attempts to achieve some part of the ethnography’s goal to describe how "ideal worker" is socially constructed by the different organization’s stakeholders (managers and employees), so as to stay and to be “advantaged". This goes through the light of analyzing the two key events, that is to say "management changes" and "layoff". At first, drawing on Schneider and Ingram framework, the characteristics of “ideal worker” construct from new managers’ view, their sense making of the employees with this framework and trying to move into the full realization of the construct is expressed. Then, based on social construction efforts on the part of employees, their struggles to stay, to not being fired, and even to get promoted - intended to changing and modifying the new manager’s “ideal worker” construct - is described in the form of a manifesto for staying in “Edareh”.

Abstract
Through the Personal Unity of Existence, Mulla Sadra explains the relationship between the necessary and contingent beings using concepts such as manifestations and appearances. While they align with the PUE, their linguistic vagueness may lead to multiple interpretations. This study, adopting an analytical-critical approach and drawing on metaphysical grounding, seeks to provide a framework for resolving this vagueness. Grounding, characterized by its non-causal nature and hyper-intentionality, enables a redefinition of these Sadrian notions. It also contributes to clarifying Mulla Sadra’s terminology and a more precise understanding of the necessary-contingent relationship. By integrating traditional and analytical perspectives, this research highlights the potential of metaphysical grounding in analyzing Sadra’s theory.

Abstract
"Personal pronouns" is one of the important issues in Persian grammar that most of the linguists and grammarians have dealt in their works and more or less presented a similar definition to the subject. In general, personal pronouns in Persian language and most of the related text have been applied in the same way; but with reference to the presence of some of the linguistic features in some ancient texts that are outcome of their relationships with diverse periods and geographical domains, it is possible that personal pronouns could have been used to some extent in different forms. The current paper intends to show the manner and different applications of personal pronouns in Tabaqat-al-Sufiyya, their origin and ratio of homogeneity and non-homogeneity of the book with other ancient texts. The personal pronouns in this text have often been used jointly with other texts or in certain cases different from them. Here, we primarily focuses on the usage of personal pronouns in Tabaqat-al-Sufiyya and ancient Herat dialects and remember them as "shebhe shenase". Specific usage of personal pronouns, specially "shebhe shenase" in ancient Herat dialects and Tabaghat is influenced by moderate Persian. From the point of view of its objectives, the current research is an applied in nature which has been accomplished through descriptive-analytical method after a detailed study of Tabaqat-al-Sufiyya and some other sources.

The necessity to protect to parliament and its members led to determine and assure a particular privilege named parliamentary immunity in the Constitutions or ordinary laws of majority of the countries. This legal institution has been predicted to provide freedom of speech and to maintain the independence of representatives (members of parliament) in order to do their duty favorably. To define and justify the necessity of it, different theories I ike "good service theory" and "the prestige of representatives' legal personality" have been introduced. In this regard, "Doctrine of Necessity" is presented as the most important theoretical basis. The legal supports which observe the parliamentary immunity, can be generally studied in two categories with distinct descriptions and effects. First, it demonstrates the benefits and utilization of immunity by the representatives for their statements, opinions, and the cast of votes in order to do their duty as representative, which idiomatically is called "the principle of non-liability". Second, it supports the members of parliament against legal proceedings, arrest. imprisonment and the rest judicial measures, except by the permission and allowance of the respective parliament, because of irrelevant exercises and non - parliamentary duties and prevents the possibility of immediate prosecution of MPs because of the attributed crimes. This kind of immunity which is practically is the logical consequence of the non-liability principle of representatives before their parliamentary duties, is named "the principle of inviolability". The stand of every country of the world in relation to the various forms of parliamentary immunity is a little bit different. In some countries, one of these two forms and in others. both of them are accepted to guarantee the whole immunity of MPs. Respectively, the first approach is called solo and the second one is called integrative. In Iran, the first approach depended on the non-liability of representatives because of their statements has been accepted in Art: 86 of the Constitution. The accuracy of this acceptance is approvable from the dynamic Fiqh’s point of view and the expediencies and existing necessities require to go along with the rest of countries which accepted the principle of parliamentary immunity.
