Contemporary Poets innovoted in language and poetic concepts with the trend of modernism and Nabil Yasin is one of them. In addition to being outstanding in terms of poetic concepts, the poems of this poet are innovative in terms of language and sharp poetic experssion. He has succeded in field of the musical distinguishes his language by using of phonological deviation. so, in addition to perfecting  and the musical effect of his poetry, he has helped to make the more pleasing to the audience. Nabil with special skill has created connection between the meaning, form and structure of the poem and also composes literary poems with special meaning, structure and consequently lead to defamiliarezation. Phonetic deviation is ignoring the phonetic rules in language and using a form that is not common phoneticaly in the standard language. The poet experesses an unfamilar concept or idea in  an appearance that is cotrary to the habit by means of written deviation, which may come to mind later than the concept itself. One of the most important goals of written deviation is visualizing poetry. In additon to words, this type of poetry takes help from the facilities and factors related to visual arts and draw a special image or shape in the audience’s mind by avoiding norms in the writing method.
Conclusion:

Phonetic deviation has been manifested in the form of saturation, gemination and relief in his poem. He has conveied thoughts and feeling to audience in more tavorable way thrugh a special selection of words, due to their similarity and consistency with of the poem. The use of phonetic deviation in Nabil Yasin’s poem can express the intensity and ultimate regret arising from the poet’s inner state and his sadness and his dissatisfaction with the current situation in his country.

The exra regularity means that a lot of balance and this method is created throuh verbal repitition. Repitition causes foregrounding, emphasizing and creating more beauty and music in poetry. The exrra regularity is manifested in the form of repetition of nouns, adjective, verbs, sentences and phrases. He has used the factor repetition in artistic way for the staleness of mental and social suffering and phonetic balance of words. Repitition in his poetry not limited in the musical elements, but if contributes to coherence and strenth of the poem’s structure.

بررسی هنجارگریزی آوایی و نوشتاری در شعر نبیل یاسین

چکیده

هنجارگریزی از اصطلاحات مطرح ­شده از دیدگاه فرمالیست­های روسی به شمار می­آید. این رویکرد یکی از شیوه­های برجسته­سازی متن ادبی است که می­توان آن را خروج از زبان معیار در نظر گرفت. از دیدگاه لیچ زبان­شناس انگلیسی، برجسته­سازی متن به دو گونه «هنجارگریزی» و «قاعده­افزایی» تحقق می­یابد. او هنجارگریزی را به هشت نوع تقسیم کرده ­است. این پژوهش هنجارگریزی آوایی و نوشتاری را به روش توصیفی ـ تحلیلی، در شعر شاعر عراقی، نبیل یاسین واکاوی نموده است. شاعران معاصر عربی به نوآوری در زبان و مفاهیم شعری پرداختند که نبیل یاسین از جمله آن­ها است. نتایج پژوهش حاکی از آن است که قاعده­کاهی و قاعده­افزایی موجب برجسته‌سازی در اشعار نبیل یاسین شده است. در شعر وی، هنجارگریزی آوایی در قالب اشباع، تشدید و تسکین تجلی ­یافته است.  شاعر از طریق گزینش خاصی از کلمات به دلیل هم­جنس بودن و هماهنگی بیشتر آن­ها با دیگر اجزای تشکیل­دهنده کلام سبب می­گردد  مفاهیم و احساسات شعری را به مخاطب القا نماید. روش­های هنجارگریزی نوشتاری در شعر او عبارتند از: کاربست شکل­ها، جدانویسی حروف واژه­ها و استفاده از نقطه­چین، به­کارگیری نشانه­های نگارشی در جای نامناسب، به­کارگیری اعداد و اضافه. او توانسته با هنجارگریزی نوشتاری میان لفظ و معنا پیوندی استوار برقرار کند. قاعده­افزایی در اشعار وی در قالب تکرار اسم، حرف، فعل، جمله و عبارت تجلی یافته­ است. به‌کارگیری این روش­ها در شعر او با هدف برجسته‌سازی و انعکاس بحران­ها و شرایط نابسامان عراق است؛ بنا براین، از این رویکردها برای نوآوری در ساختار و زبان شعر و آفرینش معناهای جدید بهره­­ گرفته است.
