Aimed at examining communication as a learnable behaviour in Molana’s petry, this paper will provide some instances in these poems for each of the three well-known theories of learning, communicative, and social behaviors, namely, Classical Conditioning, Instrumental Learning, and Social Learning. Although the instances were found out to be numerous, for the sake of space in this paper, only two or three poems were decided on to be decoded by each theory. Furthermore, differentiation, as a necessary principle in communicative and social behaviours, was separately dealt with in Molana’s poems, relevant verse lines being mentioned when needed, and the results were classified in a diagram. Finally, I tried to answer the question as to whether it is possible to find a connection between prevailing western theories of communication in this regard and the content of Molana’s poetry.
