Role of Comparative reference in Cohesion of Persian Prosodic Poetry

In Holidayʹs linguistic theory, one of the factors which lead to the conjunction of a textʹs sentences is comparison. This factor, in addition to personal and allusive reference, forms three types of references in this theory; since according to Holiday when two things are compared with each other, they are actually referred to each other. Comparative reference is an indirect reference to alikeness, difference or the similarity of the referential factors. This type of reference is divided into two parts; common and particular. The common comparative reference is divided into three parts; alikeness, similarity and difference. Due to the high significance and precise survey of simile in the Persian language, an attempt has been made to mention the common points of this issue in the Persian literature and the Holiday theory. Holiday has also divided particular comparative reference into two parts; counting ones and descriptive ones. But in here the authors have added the comparative one to it too as a result of common comparison and the potential and possibility of comparison _through simile in the Persian language. Based on Holidayʹs theory, 3 cohesion has other factors besides reference; I) substitution and omission, 2) vocabulary coherence 3) relevance. Since the author is studying the Persian language, he has added other factors which have a role in equilibrium of syntactical cohesion. t As this discussion has a high scope, only one of the factors is ^ discussed in here; comparative reference.
