Abstract
Apart from the important role of playing in a child’s life which, according to Mili Champ, helps him to become a man (person) and in spite of the very important roles of playing in the child’s body, treatment (therapy), cultivation, and social and moral development, literary value and role are appeared only in some games called word play. These games linked with the minds of children, teenagers and even adults are found in the scope of didactic literature because such games, while maintaining entertainment and recreation aspects, are effective in their mental and language training as well. Word play’s main genres include riddle, wordplay, so called oral literature. In this study, in addition to classifying the important genres of Ilamians oral literature into riddle, wordplay, song-game, fable, and long and short narratives, some literary aspects of Ilamian-Kurdish song-gams and wordplay have been analyzed and described to illustrate the literary significance of these genres. Results of the study show that ancient syllabic meter, Alliteration, pun and considering natural elements of their authors’ environment are among the most important literary characteristics of these word plays.

Abstract
In this article, at first, the authors have tried to scrutinize some of the most important attributes of Nima Yushij’s engaged poems in the first decades of 20th and 30th from the view point of extra-linguistic and sociological aspects. Then, in the framework of intra- textual and linguistic essay artistic and literary quality of these poems are evaluated. From the view point of extra-textual approach, descriptive research methodology and content analysis of results show that ideological representation of Nima’s Poem and Tudeh’s Party reading and interpretation of those poems make sense that these poems have been just engaged in this party. The interpreters and critiques of this party have reflected a uniform and concordant atmosphere with their own thoughts in relation to the poems of Nima ideologically. So, Social poems of Nima have been always interpreted with political bias on behalf of dominant discourse. But, in fact, the engagement of Nima has been totally toward the society and left Party not Tudeh’s Party. From the view point of Intra-textual and linguistic approach, Nima has never ignored literary aspect of his poetic work in favor of engaged mottos with directive and referential language. He has applied the technique of semantic foregrounding and symbolism to produce an open text which is devoted to the signification process

Extended Abstract
Arrogance and harsh language are one of the main characteristics of the literature of the constitutional era. This amount of political sarcasm and sharp language is unique in the history of Iran. In other words, in no period of Iran's literary history has there been so much foul language that originated and was motivated by the world of politics. In fact, the literature of this era has a violent and warm nature and follows fast and emotional movements and is more in favor of revolution and rebellion than it is willing to restore and reform gradually. This extreme emotionalism unintentionally makes the language of the writer of this era sharp and fearless and makes him realize the destructive power of language. Thus, in the constitutional era, the element of satire is highlighted in its most reckless form. This is the manifestation of what should be called linguistic violence. The violence that is a symbol of the inner turmoil and the endless impatience that burns the writers of this period in its fire, blocks the way to any gradual reform or toleration of the opposing voice, and it is not satisfied except to destroy the previous constructions and try to build a new building.

Theoretical Framework:
The theoretical framework of this research is the theory of short-term society, which tries to explain the relationship between the state and the nation and other social aspects from the perspective of historical sociology. Based on the comparative study of Iranian and European tradition, this theory points out the important differences between these two cultures. Although this theory has not been formulated specifically in the field of literature, but considering the capacities that exist in this theory and also due to the deep connection between literature and politics in Iranian society, it can be used in this interdisciplinary research.

The inner field means the conflicts of the writers towards each other and the outer field means the taunts and obscenities of the writers to the people of politics and religion and what is related to social issues.

In expressing the social and political causes of this type of literature, different causes should be mentioned; Including political instability and successive social crises, society's misunderstanding of concepts such as freedom and law, which ultimately leads to chaos in society. Abandoning tolerance and insisting on prejudice that narrows the field for rational interaction and acceptance of the opposite.
