| Summary: | In the field of literary criticism, the use of old-fashioned words and phrases, known as archaism, is one way to defamiliarize and emphasize words from a formalist viewpoint. Proper and timely use of archaism both enhance the sublimity of the verse and captivate the reader. Malik al-Shu'arā Bahār, a renowned contemporary poet, skillfully employs archaism, as one of the linguistic and stylistic features of his acclaimed works. Originally from the Khorāsān region, this poet has a sound familiarity and profound understanding of classical poetry, especially the Khorāsāni and Iraqi styles, which has enormously helped to shape the archaic essence of his poetic language. In this study, from an archaic perspective, we adopted an descriptive-analytical approach to focus on textual analysis of Malik al-Shu'arā Bahār's poetry. Our goal was to explore how consistently Mohammad Taqi Bahār used archaic words and grammatical structures in his poems, and to what degree his work deviated from the conventions. In his poetry, Bahār reflects his deep engagement with the literary traditions of the past. He purposefully incorporates archaic words and sentence structures. Through his skilled use of language, Bahār artfully revives the past in his works. This gives his poetry a unique elegance and artistry, demonstrating his command of classical linguistic techniques and enriching verse. |
