Abstract
Repetition (Takrar) is one of the features of speech that can be examined at different semantic, syntactic, lexical and phonetic levels. The purpose of this research is to examine Repetition at the lexical level as an artistic element. In the old rhetorical books, Repetition was more in the pragmatics and less in the field of rhetorics. In today's researches, Repetition as a special artistic element, apart from techniques such as alliteration, paronomasia, or the like, has been less discussed. While this feature is one of the stylistic elements in the works of some poets. Saadi is one of the orators whose Repetition - especially vocabulary - is a prominent element in his ghazal and plays an important role in his speech and rhetorics. But this aspect of Saadi's speech has not been paid attention to. This research seeks to deal with the artistic codes of Repetition as a literary art in Saadi's Ghazal. For this purpose, the quality of the Repetition of words in Saadi's ghazal was categorized into twelve methods and an attempt was made to analyze some of Saadi's rhetoric in the form of his artistic Repetitions. This classification shows that Saadi has made rhetorical repetition in 72% of the cases and simple repetition in 28% of the cases by using the 12 tricks presented in this research. Also, most of his repetitions are nouns, and among them, "heart", "head" and "friend" are the most frequent.
