Contemporary Sonnet Composers' Approach to Geographical Deviation.

The purpose of this paper is to study how geographical deviation is used as an artistic device in contemporary ghazal and what motivates contemporary poets to use regional dialects. The study includes an analysis of the approach of contemporary poets to the geographical form deviation, using words from dialects in the formal form of ghazal. The present study is a library research and the method of research is descriptive – analytical. It is concluded that, using dilaects and local expressions builds intimacy with the audience and giving local identity to the modern ghazal leading to defamiliarization and avoidance of standard language.
