Abstract

in this research, which is based on the analytical-descriptive method and influenced by the semi-semantic approach in classical narratives, an attempt has been made to consider 661 existing subjects in the collection of Iranian folk tales, which includes 201 stories collected by the efforts of Seyyed Abolqasem Enjavi Shirazi in the four volumes collection, to study the types of feeling of shortage of subject in relation to the object, and also to analyze the specific appearance of the objects in these stories; The findings of this research show that the subjects in these stories have five classes: normal or peasant-subject, average, special or ruler-subject, legendary and mythological, compared to objects, there are two types of shortcoming: affirmative (must be), privative (must be again) and have experienced the feeling of danger of privative loss (must not be lost), among which affirmative loss has been the most frequent, and also the objects in these stories are divided into four categories: abstract objects, inanimate objects, merely animate objects, intelligent animate objects. It has been shown that abstract objects have the most frequency.
