Abstract :

The foregrounding system is one of the terms used by the Russian formalists in contrast to the automatic language system, and considered it for literature language. One of the types of foregrounding is deviation, which means evading normal language norms. One of the methods of deviation is syntactic type through which the poet boasts a syntactic structure of language. One of the important syntactic deviation methods is the heart of sentence elements at three levels of word, group, and clause. In this research, the author intends to identify one of the aspects of syntactic foregrounding of Akhavan Sales poetry by examining the styles of scrambling in his poets. To this end, all the poetries in the "Then after Thunder" collection, which is a summary of the eight major poetry books of his poetry, was investigated. The results of this study indicate that scrambling, in three ways of displacing the elements and pillars of sentence (priority and delay), separation of group components and displacement of clause is one of the syntactic foregrounding tools in Akhavan Sales poetry.
