Abstract

“Prague” group is among constructionist linguists because they noticed the function
of language “communication” and prioritized the function of language rather than its structure. Their studies do not concentrate on the structure of language but it focuses on the relationship between the structure and its meaning, the role of speaker and
hearer. The role of rhetoric is to study the appropriation of speech, in the other words
rhetoric examines the harmony among the discourse, texture and condition where speech is presented along with its meaning and also the role of speaker and listener. So, it can be said that applied principles of syntax and rhetoric are common and the book entitled ‘Miraculous Reasons’ written by Jorjani is one of the biggest rhetoric books where the signs of functionalist can be found; since harmony between the form
and meaning or function, or function and structure are among the most important signs of functionalist in the Jorjani’s book. The aim of present study is to examine the functionalist principles including: the role of language, relationship between
structure and function, the role of listener and speaker and then to match these principles based upon Jorjani’s theory. Primacy and recency in the words and deletion are studied in Jorjani’s theory. The most important result of this study is that, in the view of Jorjani, the main task of language is to communicate between the listener and speaker and this communication isn’t possible in the form of sentence and text, then task and function is prioritized over term and structure. If the speaker
begins his/her speech with a verb, it means that he doubts about verb occurrence and
if he begins with a noun, there is a doubt in its subject. This is in common in all interrogative, negative or positive sentences. Definiteness or indefiniteness of predicate is also proportional to texture of speech.
