تحليل تقابل واژه¬های دوگانه و وارونگی آن در ديوان خوشحال خان خټک

Abstract

This article examines binary oppositions and the inversion of oppositions in the Diwan of Khushhal Khan. Inversion is a form of deconstruction, a contemporary analytical method that has gained prominence and has roots in post-structuralism linguistics. Conversely, binary oppositions represent a fundamental aspect of structuralism thought, which was critiqued by Derrida. The central question of this research is how word oppositions and their inversions manifest in the Diwan of Khushhal Khan Khattak. Since inversion is fundamentally deconstruction, this study briefly addresses binary oppositions and analyzes the relevant data through a deconstructive approach. This research is analytical-descriptive. Its data have been collected from the Diwan of Khushhal Khan Khattak using a library-based methodology. The data have been analyzed qualitatively. The aim of this research is to explore the nature of oppositions and the inversion of binary oppositions in the Diwan of Khushal Khan. Consequently, this research reveals that the hierarchy of binary oppositions or the inversion of these opposition’s changes based on political, social, and religious thoughts. This inversion in Khushhal's poetry serves as a window into understanding his beliefs and ideologies.
