Numbers as Grammatical Category in Nasimi's Persian
"Divan" and Their Poetical Function
Abstract
This article examines the grammatical features and poetic-philosophical functions of numerals in the persian "Divan" of the great Azerbaijani thinker Imadaddin Nasimi. The main aim is to demonstrate how numerals, as a grammatical category in classical poetry, go beyond their primary linguistic function to become carriers of profound semantic and aesthetic meanings. The study explores numerals such as "one," "two," "three," "four," and "thirty-two," revealing their use not only in various grammatical roles (such as attribute, predicate, adverb, etc.) but also as symbolic expressions of mystical and philosophical concepts. Through these numerals, Nasimi poetically conveys themes such as divine unity, the relationship between man and God, the connection between the material and spiritual worlds, and the quest for perfection and truth.
