Abstract

Markedness theory is one of the new theories that entered linguistics in the twentieth century. Words are divided in terms of whether or not they contain the speaker/writer/poet's position into two categories; marked and unmarked. Wadī‛ Sa‛ādah (1948 AD) the Lebanese poet and Hafez Mousavi (1954 AD) the Iranian poet among the poets whose poems contain many similarly marked words in terms of structure and meaning, to the extent that using these words can be considered a literary trick of the poems of these two poets. For this reason, this study, which is based on the descriptive analytical method, attempts to study the structure of the marked words in the poems of Sa‛ādah and Mousavi, and to express the most important meanings of these words, based on their application to the American School of Comparative Literature. Studying the poems of the two poets showed that Sa‛ādah and Mousavi expressed their marked words in the form of descriptive and adduct combinations in addition to sentences. One of the most important techniques used by the two poets to express the marked words they chose is to attribute human characteristics to descriptions taken from the natural world or other, as well as choosing human additives for the non-human genitive, and assigning specific and unrealistic verbs to the subject and object of the sentences.
