Abstract:
Studying the Disagreement between two thoughts and two individuals- in the form of the component of the communicative use of language, in the interactional dimension - reveals that the opposition goes back to different attitudes of the two sides and the relationship between them, whether it is empathic or hostile. In this research, the role of the principle of politeness is investigated in Zoroastrian and Islamic writings - Middle Persian, Persian and Arabic texts - regarding Mazdak. The main focus of this study is on the Mazdaknameh, a Zoroastrian text composed in the 11th century A.H. consisting of 615 verses, within the framework of the Culpeper's impoliteness model. The study shows that two methods were used by the Zoroastrian writer: apparent impoliteness and negative impoliteness.
The purpose of the study is to obtain a description of the common features related to impoliteness between these texts, through a brief review of Zoroastrian texts in Middle Persian and some of the Islamic sources written in Arabic and Persian talking about Mazdak. Further, in this paper, the consolidation of the hegemony and the re-articulation of the Sassanian ideology are analyzed based on the Laclau and Mouffe discourse theory.
