Abstract

Human is perfectionist in nature. Exerting excessive care in choosing lexical items and their targeted usage in the texts as well as moral and instructional emphasis on employing proper discourse are manifestations of human perfectionism and integration of aestheticism and perfectionism in language. A perfectionist man not only selects best and most proper lexical units for use but also naturally craves for hearing them. Respecting human dignity and observing etiquettes of respect and morality are logic behind language euphemism, language aestheticism and language excellence. Hebrew as the language of a divine book which enjoys historical and linguistic value is full of proper and good lexical items. Too, both Persian prose and verse (that is affected by holy Quran) have same feature and adopt rhetorical and technical techniques to beautify Persian worth and suit the audiences’ taste.
