Abstract

Following the development of sciences in all various aspects especially in literature, new concepts are appeared analyzing texts with a new and different look at what we have traditionally used to. In light of these comments, the instruments of interpretation have been changed in comparison with ancient times. Theories of context linguistic are among the most common and well-known theories in which, a context is believed as a continuous, coherent and apparent unity structure with no beginning and ending. Coherence is an obvious qualification of a text about which, some great linguists like Holiday and Roghayyeh Hassan have discussed in a book with the same title. They have argued about various factors such as confrontation that cohere different parts of text. Confrontation is a kind of conformity among different words which play significant role in coherence and continuity of text. This confrontation is one of the most common semantic relations in Sahifeh Sajjadieh so that, it is being considered as a distinctive stylistic feature. This paper tries to consider this wonderful style with a descriptive-analytical method as one of the factors of coherence in Sahifeh Sajjadieh. The results show that the method of confrontation in Sahifeh Sajjadieh has a great role in beautification of context as an intellectual array under the light of old rhetoric, and is one of the greatest factors to cohere the context under the light of new linguistics. So, such a continuity and adherence is beyond one or more sentences and ties all prayers to each other as one text which are circling around contrast axis between right and wrong in the form of white and black words.
