Language can be studied from different perspectives, and one of the methods of researching language changes in society is researching cultural resources of society, such as stories, novels, musical productions, and ancient poems and myths. One of the categories of attention of the media, which has taken an important place in the representations, is the category of gender and especially male or female gender representation. The representation of patriarchy has different positive and negative aspects and is different in different cultures, and the way of portraying a man with authority and influence is based on the elements of a culture and his role and position in the same context. The aim of the current research is to study the way patriarchy is represented in a positive way in ancient Persian poetry from the perspective of sociolinguistics. For this purpose, verses that are more clearly related to the topic of research, i.e. language interaction based on gender, have been selected, and by using Barth's three-level semiotic analysis method, the way of representing the male character and specifically the father, as well as the linguistic position of the father Compared to other roles, it has been analyzed from the perspective of sociolinguistics. The obtained results show that in the old poem we witness the representation of men's linguistic control, the father's linguistic superiority over other roles, the absence of dialogue and setting the stage for requests from the focal man (father) as well as genderization in linguistic relations, which Representation is based on patriarchal ideology and discourse in the society, and although it is considered positive, it does not have its place and role in the current society and culture.
