One of the main ideas of formalism which has drawn great attention is defamiliarization in literature. The mission of art is to defimaliarize the familiar concepts and provide a new perception through removing the veil of habit from eyes. In literature and as one of the manifestations of art، defamiliarization takes place at various levels including the language level. Linguists have explained and classified defamiliarization within the language as one of the formal elements of the text. Reflecting upon the language of Dolatabadi''s stories، we will find that how such a defamiliarization is important in shaping the desired form which may be suitable for the content of the story. This study is، on the other hand، a brief review of definitions and classifications provided as far for various ways of defamiliarization at the language level.
