Abstract

The language of poetry has a special structure that includes deep emotions and images, beyond being just a means of communication. Poets create different designs in the reader by using word games and unusual structures, going beyond traditional language. In the poems of Mehdi Ekhevân-i Salis, these language deviations can be examined under categories such as lexical, morphological, syntactic, semantic and historical period deviations.
While lexical deviations increase the effect of the poem by generating new words, syntactic deviations examine the arrangement of words in sentences. Lexical deviations are the production of new words by creating combinations with roots and suffixes, new roots and suffixes, and are generally the most commonly used type of deviation. In addition to certain, stereotyped verb conjugations, we can also evaluate deviations that are created by associating words with different words, by making deliberate changes and by using unusual uses to create a kind of freedom as morphological deviations. Semantic deviations are the poet’s tendency to create new images and visions in the minds of readers by playing with words and the ways they are associated with them, by creating a powerful language in terms of meaning by creating derivatives and combinations that have not been used in the language. In addition, the poet’s connection to the past emerges with historical period deviations. The poet may not stick to the language of the period he lives in, but may use words from earlier periods to establish a connection with people who lived before him and the language of the period they lived in. In this way, he creates a rich language by blending the language of the past with the language of the day.
As a result, Mehdi Akhavan Sales created a deviation according to certain language uses by taking advantage of the deviations mentioned above in his works, going beyond the norm, and by pushing the possibilities of the language, he offered his readers a different experience.
