Abstract
In linguistic approaches, questions have been divided into two categories, open and closed, with different types, based on the degree of freedom or compulsion of the audience in answering. Open questions cause the audience to actively participate in reading the poem; but closed questions force the audience to choose one of the available options or to go along with the speaker's desired answer. By examining the types of questions in the poets' poems based on this approach, a different type of reading of the poets' poems can be achieved. The aim of this study, using a descriptive-analytical approach, is to examine the questions reflected in the collection of poems of Akhavan such as "Zemestan, Akhar-e-Shahnameh and Az in Avesta”. The findings and results show that Akhavan has paid more attention to open interrogative sentences (broad and limited information). This indicates that Akhavan has been more interested in new, precise and detailed answers to the issues; however, the questioner has some control over the answers that should be given, and thus, contrary to the nature of open questions, the answers are guided. Among the closed questions, the most attention has been paid to the yes/no question, which, in addition to showing the extent to which the audience is forced to give specific answers, indicates that Akhavan has been seeking to receive clear and definitive answers about the realization or non-realization of an action or to receive the audience's approval or rejection.
