Abstract

The time for comedy to go back to Plato. Today, a variety of theories on satire are presented in the field of linguistic and literary knowledge. These theories provide the ability to analyze construction. Between the lines of Resaleye Delgosha, there are some darned realities that, in their structure, we see the ambiguity. Since the " Humor theory’s Fonagi" is based on the structure of ambiguity. the present research has conducted a descriptive-analytical method in the structure of the ambiguity of the delusional treatise of satire. The findings show that there are four types of syntactic ambiguity in the humorous narrative of Resaleye Delgosha, which is consistent with the pattern of ambiguity. This study contributes to determine the role of syntactic ambiguity in the work. There are four types of ambiguities in this work.Deconstruction in the context of the deployment of phrases and sentences plays a role in creating syntactic ambiguity. Among the four most commonly used models in the satire of this work, the deep structure ambiguity is remarkable.
