Analytical Approach to Rhetoric

Rhetoric science is one of the most important branches of Balaghah (rhetoric), according to which a single meaning can be used in different ways, provided that it is based on imagination. In this technique, the four permissible topics, metonymy, simile, metaphor, irony, and other related branches are examined. In this book, new perspectives and issues are introduced with an analytical look at the science of rhetoric with regard to the ideas that have been proposed so far in this field. The approach of this book, as its name suggests, is not merely the repetition of definitions and examples of this art, but it is based on the study, critique, analysis and sometimes developing new perspectives in this field.
