Abstract

One of the intellectual and philosophical developments in recent centuries is the structuralism movement. The structuralism movement initiated since the 1960s which completely dominated the intellectual life of France. Structuralism or formalism focuses on the external structure of narratives beyond meaning and aesthetics and does not scrutinize the concealed rudiments and layers of the text such as imagination, signs, etc. One of the protruding movements of formalism is the linguistic formalist who studies the linguistic structure of texts; henceforth, poetry as an example of linguistic structure has also been influenced by the formalist movement; hence, by examining the poems of contemporary poets, the extent to which the formalist is influenced can be exposed. Mehdi Akhavan Sales is one of the contemporary poets who has a collection of works. One issue that can be raised is the study of the linguistic structure of the Akhavan’s poems in terms of semiotic approach. This research intends to study the characteristics of the poetry of the mentioned poet based on a descriptive and analytical method. The research findings show that the Akhavan’s poetry has a formalized poem with a unique linguistic structure. Epic and nationalist illustrations are abundant in his poetry and features such as archaism, anomaly and narration are present.
