An analysis of a number of formalistic techniques in Khaghani's Odes

The present study attempts to analyze Khaghanee's odes based on a number of the principles of formalism to delineate a number of the peculiar features of his poetry. Selecting a descriptive approach, this research concentrates on a sample including a random sample of 132 odes of Khaghanee. The sonnets were selected from Kazazi's edition of Khaghani because of his accuracy in word-recording, attention to the available copies and noticeable comparative corrections. The study concludes that Khaghanee has used formalistic techniques like defamiliarization, language foregrounding, different types of deviation from the norm and extra regularity. This has made his sonnets significant and quite different from other poets' works.
