Abstract

Norm-breaking is one of the practical methods in de-familiarizing poetry and many poets have used this method to convey meanings. The non-normative poet creates artistic pleasure with the aim of literary resurrection in poetry. Examining the degree of norm deviation in contemporary poets' poetry displays their ability in highlighting words. Since language is one of the most imperative factors of culture transmission, the type of language used by poets is considered as one of the most key characteristics of poetry. In this research, by reviewing the concepts related to the importance of Russian formalists and Lynch’s classification, various manifestations of norm-breaking in the poems of Rahi Moiri, Mehrdad Avesta and contemporary art have been investigated. The mission of this research is to apply the findings of linguistics and introduce scientific reasons for the attractiveness and permanence of the studied works and to create the necessary ground for further research in this field. In this paper, with an in-depth look at the theoretical foundations, the features of semantic norm-breaking in the poems of Rahi Moiri and Mehrdad Avesta have been investigated. After studying the theoretical bases and corresponding them with the poetry of Moiri and Avesta, the proposed result has been expressed in a library method in an analytical-descriptive manner.
