The function of spoken language in the poems of Shahriyar

One of the challenges of most poets is creating a memorable language and making effort to leave the traditional language confinements. This incentive offers freshness and novelty to the language to some extent. In this regard, using spoken language in the poetry provides unique foregrounding. The language used in these poems is not standard language; however due to possessing the words and terms close to the people language and existence of feeling of intimacy, nowadays, the poets tend to use them in their poems. Shahriyar has modeled the method of Iraj artistically and could create various artistic masterpieces in this language structure. Indeed, this new expressive method has been culminated in the poems of Shahriyar. He has deviated from norms of common language in the systematic, syntactic, vocabulary, phonological and semantic levels in artistic way and created a new space in the realm of literary language with a simple and fluent language; so that it can be said that among the contemporary poets, his poetry closes to the natural language. Accordingly, this article examines the function of spoken language in the poems of Shahriyar and identifies the place of spoken language in his poems by providing outstanding artistic examples.
