The Lexical Synonyms in Fevzija Mostarac’s Bulbulistan

Summary/Abstract: The lexical system of Persian language has many synonyms, which makes Persian very rich and creative. Fevzija used many synonyms in Bulbulistan and thus managed to express himself precisely. He avoided the monotonous repetition of words, and made the text lexically richer. The synonyms present in Bulbulistan can be divided into real synonyms and not real ones. The synonymic couples in Bulbulistan, i.e. the nouns, verbs, present participles which have synonymic meanings and are present in parallel constructions of two members, can be identified with the figure of speach named tautology. The reason why he used these parallel constructions is emphasis, i.e. the stress of some nouns, characteristics and actions, and it is achieved by repetition of almost absolute synonyms, which contributes to the expressivity of Bulbulistan. The great presence of the real synonyms, not real synonyms and synonymic pairs in Bulbulistan contributes to the afectivity and intensity of the text. By using the synonyms Fevzija breaks the monotony, as a consequence of the uniform repetition of words and he enriches the language of Bulbulistan. Besides, this richness of synonyms shows that Fevzija spoke Persian very well. Thanks to this, and to his great knowledge of Persian grammar, he managed to write a work worthy to be among the Persian classics.
