بررسی جنبه‌های بلاغی سنگردی‌ها (رباعیات عامیانۀ پنجشیر)

Abstract

Sangardi are folk poems from Panjshir, composed as quatrains that reflect the emotions and daily life of the local people. This descriptive-analytical study, examining a corpus of 325 Sangardi from reliable written sources, aims to analyze their literary devices. Despite their apparent simplicity, the findings reveal that these poems naturally and innovatively employ numerous literary devices such as simile, metaphor, paronomasia, repetition, personification, parable…. A prominent feature is the use of similes and metaphorical elements derived directly from the inhabitants' lived environment and surrounding nature. This not only creates aesthetic richness but also avoids the repetition and banality found in some formal Persian poetry. Consequently, Sangardi, through their use of these literary techniques and the reflection of the rural poets' sincerity, possess significant literary appeal and impact. Their study is therefore a crucial step for understanding and preserving Afghanistan's folk literature.
