Abstract

According to Russian formalists and French structuralists, the basic element in each poem is its structure. Thus, structuralists' reviews mostly focus on the surface structure of the poem to investigate its linguistic dimensions and discover its structural innovations. Accordingly, literary forms are based on language forms that pave the way for literary analysis. In this regard, the language of poetry is one of the components in the symbiosis of linguistics and literature. The analysis of phonetic structure, which includes rhetorical embellishments or aesthetic elements of the text, is an assured path in investigating such symbiosis. In such analysis, literary creation is studied on the basis of a hierarchy which consists of three levels: phonetic, lexical, and syntactic. Ahmad Azizi is one of the contemporary poets of Islamic Revolution whose poetry represents the selection and combination of various linguistic features in the speech chain. Such selections and combinations create a special kind of music in the phonetic structure of poem which is the consequence of words and the arrangement of syntactic structure of sentences. This study gives an aesthetic analysis of the phonetic structure of Ahmad Azizi's book entitled "Revelation Shoes" and examines some of its features.
