Abstract
Figures of speech that provide depth of meaning and enrich the power of association are among the most important building blocks of classical poetry language. One of the frequently used figures of speech for this purpose is husn-i ta’lîl (good reasoning). With this figure, which reflects artist’s view of beings, concepts and objects, associations are made between beings, poetical inventions are built, and thus drawing new, colorful, unusual and vivid paintings. A situation or event in the standard structure of husn-i ta’lîl is replaced directly by a better reason. In the husn-i ta’lîl, which is built on rejection, the real reason is excluded with the expressions and replaced by imaginary reason. Interests between negatively structured figure and the figures of "simile", "personification" and "hyperbole" which are not included in the basic sources related to the belâgat; there are also similarities between the figures of “rücû” (correction), “tecâhul-i ârif” (ignorance) and “mezheb-i kelâmî (sect of theologians). Although this structure is evaluated within the framework of husn-i ta’lîl in some recent sources, some sources also have an uncertainty about this structure, and the examples of this figure are evaluated within the scope of “simile, personification, hyperbole; rücû, tecâhül-i ârif” figures. That the negatively built husn-i ta’lîl is a figure that transcends the figures of “simile, personification, hyperbole”, and is separated from “rücû, tecâhul-i ârif and mezheb-i kelâmî”; it has been reached that the examples within this framework should not be evaluated within the scope of the aforementioned figures.
