| Abstract:
The present discourse deals with "essential speech" and "literal
speech" in Mawlawis works and indicates that, in a general view,
division of speech and language into literal language and essential
language (or speech) and into esoteric logos and logos enjoys a long
background. Emphasizing remarkable int1uence of discussions raised in
the realm of Ashari theology upon Mawlawis works in two distinct
sections, speech in the realm of divinity as well as that of
anthropomorphism is analyzed and investigated and then the said
principles and essentials are compared with Mawlawis opinions.
