Abstract
A large part of the impressiveness of Rumi’s words is related to his manner of expression and syntax of his words, most of which are still hidden. To discover these beauties, there is no other way than a detailed analysis of his discourse. In the present study, the authors analyzed one of the factors of text coherence by examining the frequency and syntactic function of simple and compound sentences in Masnavi. This research is based on 1372 verses of the first book of Masnavi and uses statistical methods of structural analysis and classification of sentences. From this study, remarkable results were obtained regarding the close relationship between the content of the text and its sentence structure. The results indicated that the frequency of compound sentences is more than simple sentences, and among different types of compound sentences, those consisting of “main clause + subordinate clause” pattern have a higher frequency. This style of Masnavi wording contributes to the coherence of the text and paves the way for Masnavi to make good teaching material. Additionally, it was found that Rumi actively participated his audience in receiving the meaning of the compound sentences. He sometimes removed the conjunction from the structure of the sentence and allowed the reader to select the appropriate conjunction based on the selection of each of the main or subordinate clauses. In the complex compound sentences, a sentence has both main or subordinate roles at the same time, which means that based on its preceding or following sentence, the role of the sentence changes.

Abstract
Knowledge of grammar plays a significant role in understanding and interpreting texts. This article aims to explore the “genitive case” in Masnavi and analyze it from a historical syntax perspective to elucidate Rumi’s style and the distinctive usage of this construction in Masnavi compared to other works. The research method used is descriptive-analytical based on a case study. The corpus of the study comprised the six volumes of Masnavi, and data were collected through library research. In the analysis of the findings, the usage of the genitive case, its marker, and its specific forms in Masnavi sentences were determined. The various relationships between the head and its modifier with specific lexical items and combinations marked and desired by Rumi were clarified. Ultimately, the detachment and attachment of the genitive case and noun phrases were determined. The findings showed that a large part of Masnavi’s appeal and charm is due to the linguistic patterns used by Rumi, which is not the result of the rhythm and tone of Masnavi. Still, it should be searched for in meticulous and “detail-oriented” studies of grammatical construction and its morphological and syntactic patterns.
