What's the right combination?

Question

hey everybody,I ´m trying to translate a title for a thesis. The original title is in Farsi:??? ????? ???? ????? ???? ??????a version of the translation is this: ("Hazin Lahiji" is the poet.)"The Thought Stylistics of Hazin Lahiji ´s Poems"the thing is the "thought stylistics" seems a little odd to me. How do you form this phrase? It should mean the stylistics of the poet ´s thinking in his poems! In farsi the word "thought" is an adjective for the word "stylistics". Can it function the same in English, too?The capitalization of the words for a title should be like this, right?any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

"The Thought Stylistics of Hazin Lahiji ´s Poems"
the thing is the "thought stylistics" seems a little odd to me. How do you form this phrase? It should mean the stylistics of the poet ´s thinking in his poems! In farsi the word "thought" is an adjective for the word "stylistics". Can it function the same in English, too?
The capitalization of the words for a title should be like this, right? Yes.

You can use 'thought' in this way, yes. Although in your context, I prefer 'thinking'.

It's more the word 'stylistics' that I find unsuitable.

I suggest "The Thinking Styles of Hazin Lahiji ´s Poems"
or, better, "Thinking Styles in Hazin Lahiji ´s Poems".
