Metaphorical language short story Shahriar Mandanipour

This is an academic essay examining how language functions poetically in the short stories of Monadi Nipur. The author argues that Nipur's prose achieves poetic qualities through linguistic techniques, particularly by deploying language toward what Roman Jakobson called the metaphorical pole, creating metaphor and narrative ambiguity. The essay analyzes Nipur's story collection across four levels, beginning with description and character creation, demonstrating how one character substitutes for another. The work investigates the mechanisms by which modern narrative becomes heightened and poetic through deliberate language choices.
