Abstract

Deviation is one of the important findings of formalists, and today it forms the basis of stylistics and linguistics. Formalists regarded literary language as departure from standardized language and studied the style on this basis. In the early 20th century, the formalists made a significant step in departure from standardized language and created two terms of "foregrounding" and "deformalization". Saleh Mahmoud Hawari, a Palestinian immigrant poet in Syria, disrupted the usual arrangement of the language, in various casesin his poetry, creating new compositions and sweet imagery. According to Lich, deviation is of eight types; so, regarding the wide range of this subject in Hawari's poetry, the present article tried to examine the lexical, syntactic, and semantic deviation in three poetical books includingMerayaAlyasmin (1998), MaqalahAlghymAlshajar(2000), and LatakasarAlnay(2006). Semantic deviation has had the greatest exhibition in his poetry; by means of foregrounding in the use of simile and metaphor, the poet has made a deviationin this section. In the next section, he has increased the beauty of his poetry throughextra regularity and utilization of rhetorical elements such assymmetry, contradiction, allusion, repetition, etc. The second most prominent form of deviationin SalehHawari's poetry has been observed in the vocabulary; in this section, the poet has left the standard language through beautiful and pretty compounds and phrases. The third kind of deviation in his poetry is syntactic deviationwhich has occurred in the form of departure from the conventional rules of syntactic science.
