Abstract

This research, titled "Sensory Verbs in Mem and Zin", is conducted at the level of lexical semantics. It is dedicated to highlighting the sensory verbs in the poetic epic Mem and Zin. The research was carried out using the descriptive method, and to show the percentage of the verbs, the statistical method was also employed. Sensory verbs are not merely grammatical elements—they also contribute significantly to semantic structure. Analyzing these verbs helps to clarify both the poetic and narrative aspects of the text. The aim of the research is to show how Ahmad Khani, in narrating the events of the story, employed sensory verbs. The research is divided into four main sections: the first discusses the theory of semantic fields; the second is devoted to the classification of semantic fields; the third focuses on verbs, particularly sensory verbs; and the fourth is the practical section, in which we extract the sensory verbs from the text of the epic and categorize them according to the five senses.

  The findings of the research indicate that the highest proportion of sensory verbs used were related to the sense of sight, followed by hearing, then the other senses. This is due to the significance of the sense of sight, as it is the most used human sense for perceiving and recognizing the external world. Therefore, it is natural for the poet to frequently use verbs such as "saw," "looked," "watched," "contemplated," and so on.
