This study is the first to introduce evidentiality to the stylistic
analysis of literary works, specifically that of the great Persian
writer Sa'di, focused on how he used linguistic means to illustrate
a real or ideational world. The authors begin by introducing the
concept of evidentiality; its definition, its coding in Persian,
the rationale behind evidentiality analysis, and semantic-pragmatic
functions of evidentiality. The book highlights how evidentiality
can be accounted for as a stylistic device to reveal the validity
of a narration, as well as the author's commitment and contribution
to it. Three of Sa'di's major works are analysed - Bustan, Golestan
and Sonnets - using Krippendoff's frequency approach. It is argued
that Sa'di deployed an array of evidentials in his work, from
direct visual evidentials in Golestan and Sonnets to heard and
quoted evidentials in Bustan. To illustrate this, the book includes
translations of Sa'di's poetry and prose. In addition, the authors
consider historical and contemporary manifestations of the Persian
narrative style, as well as exploring the cultural concerns of the
Persian speech community. The book will be appeal to general
linguists, practitioners of pragmatics and stylistics, literary
critics, and those interested in contrastive analysis of literature
and cultural studies.
