In this research, an attempt has been made to analyze this linguistic component in Akhavan Sales’s poems. The starting point of this research is the linguistics approach to the analysis of literary texts, which of course is not a new discussion.

Furthermore, rhetoric also lacked the necessary tools to deal with the problem. The data collection in this research is based on the library method and the data are analyzed accordingly. In the end, it is concluded that Akhavan Sales has used adverbial adjectives in order to create imagery, ambiguity, brevity, and descriptive scenes.
