Abstract

The Qajar era is a special era in terms of printing and publishing illustrated works and the manifestation of images in architecture, drawing, music, painting and gilding. Literature is also a suitable vehicle for this issue; on the other hand, when language is the subject of stylistic discussion, the poet and writer's use of imagination and techniques such as metaphor, simile, and allegory can be compared to painting in words; thus, Talibov is considered an illustrator writer. Talibov Tabrizi is one of the Iranian writers and intellectuals who immigrated to the Caucasus and by writing his literary and political works, made a great contribution to enlightening and distributing new literary and political ideas among Iranians. In his works, while discussing new scientific issues, politics, freedom and law; he points out the need to simplify writing and dispose of previous phrases and problems in prose. The present research has been carried out in a descriptive and analytical way by relying on the data of library sources. The studies presented that at the linguistic level, the word-for-word translation of Turkish terms and phrases into Persian, the use of foreign words with Russian or Turkish pronunciation, the matching of adjectives with adjectives in the context of the Arabic language, the use of the pronoun "he" for non-humans and the useof "to" in the meaning of "for" they have a high frequency in Talibov's works. At the literary level, adaptation and references to verses and poems and use of proverbs to explain the subject are the main features of his works.

Research aims:
1. The investigation of the stylistic features of Talibov's works is on two linguistic and literary levels.
2. Investigating the elements of simple writing in illustrated texts of the Qajar period.

Research questions:
1. What are the linguistic and literary characteristics of Talibov Tabrizi's literary works?
2. What factors played a role in the simplification of illustrated texts of the Qajar period?
