ABSTRACT
During 1990s, certain trends appeared in Persian poetry, which were generally different in terms of both language and method of expression and content from those from the previous periods. The common aspect of all the poetical trends from the 1990s was transcending beyond the common and normal language and expression of Persian poetry. One of the most important and most influential poetic trends from 1990s was “the Language poetry” trend, pioneered by Reza Baraheni. In this study, the Language Poetry trend is analyzed. The theory of “linguality” proposed by Baraheni is briefly introduced, in the first place, followed by figuring out the main indicators of Language poetry from among his viewpoints. The most important indicators of the language poetry are syntactical discordance, de-semanticization, multiphonicity, projective dislocation, polylogia or lingual lunacy and so forth. It is argued that there is a gap between poetical theory and poetical implementation in the poetry of Baraheni as in Nima and Shamlu.
