A Study of the Musical Role of Repetition and its Functions in Forough Farokhzad's poem

Poem is a verbal art and music is necessary for the nature of poem, for music transfers latent meaning and sentiment of the poem to the addressees and causes harmony in the poem. The music is a special system that spreads over all aspects of the poem. The music of Persian poem in different era has been in four types: "external music, lateral music, inner music and immaterial music."In the contemporary poem, unlike classic poem, less attention has been paid to external and lateral music, instead, poets have considered inner music for enriching their music of poems. Among arrays, repetition has many functions in the inner music. It is necessary to note, what is called oral array, is in fact the art of repetition or phonotactics because in its common form it is just the repetition of phonemes.In Forough's poem, repetition has the most common usage. In this investigation an attempt has been made to study Forough's poem and the repetition of phonemes, and also the role of repetition in his music of poem. The other functions of repetition, in addition to its musical role, are; the unity between poet and addressee, enriching the lexicon, high lighting the content, making new meanings, influencing the poet's inner sensation, commenting and describing contents. Creating unity between tone and thought, creating new meaning in poem, keeping its mental image are other functions which have been studied as well.
