Abstract

Explanatory sentences are one of the common subjects of grammar and semantics, which has been reduced in importance by limiting its definition to things like invocation, prayer, and cursing in most instruction books. On the other hand, the abundant use of explanatory sentences is one of the characteristics of technical prose. Their use in Joveyni ‘s The History of Jahangosha, as one of the best examples of technical prose, is widespread. In addition, these sentences are not only used for cursing and praying in Jahangosha history, but the author uses them to explain his views and thoughts and even to express important historical information. In such a way that contrary to popular belief, their removal will ruin the body of the speech in terms of meaning, and the reader will not be aware of the author's intentions. In this research, which examines the verbal and semantic purposes of protest sentences in Jahangosha history, The sources of information have been collected through a library research method and the authors have investigated and analyzed those above verbal and semantic purposes and their effect in explaining the Javanese discourse in a descriptive-analytical way. The research shows that explanatory sentences play an essential role in completing the meaning and expressing the author's goals and thoughts about the historical events of the Mongol attack.
