Comparative Analysis of Semantic Deviance Strategies in the Poetry of Shêrko Bêkas and Seyyed Ali Sälehi (Case Study: “You can recreate me with a sip of a kiss” and "The last romances of Rira")

Abstract

Semantic deviation, including various types, is one of the most important methods of deviation in the process of the creation of literary language and it plays an important role in representing aspects of meaning, imagination and image in literary language. Shêrko Bêkas and Seyyed Ali Sälehi as two important representatives of contemporary Kurdish and Persian poetry, have used different methods of semantic deviation in their literary creations, so the comparative analysis of different methods of semantic deviation in the poetry of these two poets is a necessity of research in this field. In this research, relying on different species of semantic deviation, we investigate and analyze the various appearances and functions of semantic deviation strategies in the poetry of Shêrko Bêkas and Seyyed Ali Sälehi, so that we can get a better understanding of the construction of literary language in the poetic language of these two poets and explain the connection of different frequencies and functions of semantic deviance strategies with the poetic worldviews in their poems. For this purpose, two collections of poems "You Can Recreate Me with a Sip of a Kiss" by Bêkas and "The Last Romances of Rira" by Sälehi have been used as the basis of analysis. The results of the research show that among the different types of semantic deviation, "abstraction", "Visualization" (with sub-branches: fluidity, materiality and animism), "coloring" (with sub-branches: coloring elements different from one's own color and coloring the abstract and by-nature-colorless objects or elements), "Synesthesia" and "paradox", are the most important and most frequent methods used by Bêkas and Sälehi in semantic deviations and according to the approaches, life experiences and specific worldviews governing the poems of each of these two poets, different types of semantic deviations (according to their nature) have appeared with different forms and frequencies in the poems of Bêkas and Sälehi. The research method is descriptive-analytical and the data has been collected in a library and document analysis method.
