Structuralist-Linguistic Analysis of the Poem In the Tar Of Night

Structural-linguistic analysis is one of the first fruitful approaches to nouvelle critique, which studies the text using linguistic insights, irrespective of external elements. The history of such an approach to the text analysis dates back to Russian Formalists, specially Roman Jakobson; later structuralism and the new study methods enjoyed this approach. The present paper, using structural- linguistic analysis, attempts to confirm the efficiency of the approach and also present a different reading of one of Sohrab Sepehri’s poems through studying text elements.
