Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive comparative-typological analysis of the art of tajnis (homonymy) in two monumental works of Eastern poetics: Shams Qays Razi’s “Al-Mu'jam” and Ahmad Tarazi’s “Funun al-Balagha.” The research initially traces the textual history and publication of these manuscripts, highlighting the scholarly contributions of Edward Browne, Abdulwahhab Qazvini, and Mudarris Razavi. The core of the study focuses on a detailed structural and semantic examination of the seven specific types of tajnis including tajnisi tom, zoid, noqis, and murakkab − as defined in both Persian and Turkic traditions. By analyzing original poetic fragments from masters such as Khaqani and Nizari, the article illustrates how Tarazi integrated Razi’s theoretical framework into Turkic literature while expanding its scope through trilingual examples (Turkic, Persian, and Arabic). The findings demonstrate the continuity of classical poetic theory and Tarazi’s role in synthesizing multi-linguistic literary devices, providing a deeper understanding of the evolution of medieval rhetoric.
