Types of Linguistic Deviation in Andrew Marvell'S Selected Poems

Linguistic deviation has been considered a way of getting the attention of the readers by ignoring the norms of the language and getting away from the ordinary use of language. deviation is the irregularities of the regular, a creative way to change the regularities of the language to strengthen the reader's imagination and lead them to new experiences of the same things. artists, of all people, are the ones who involve themselves in these irregularities to create different thoughts in order to make a better world. this paper aims at pointing out different types of deviations in andrew marvell's selected poems, to his coy mistress, a dialogue between the soul and the body, the fair singer, and the definition of love. andrew marvell, as a metaphysical poet, had his particular style of inventing brand-new meanings to imply his inner thoughts. the findings show that marvell uses different types of lexical, semantic, grammatical, and phonological deviations to create his aesthetic world and change the contemporary view of dominant ideas that people had been accustomed to in that time. neologism, morphology, syntactic, aphesis, syncope, apocope, oxymoron, paradox, metaphor, simile, metonymy, personification, synecdoche, hyperbole, litotes, and irony are the subdivisions of the linguistic deviations found in the poems.
