Deviation in the literary parlance occurs when a speaker or writer deviates from the normal rules and standards of a language. By breaking the rule of language, poets create art from the language that a language group is familiar with. Previous studies on written Igbo poetry (WIP) focused mainly on its content, with little attention paid to the language of the modern Igbo poets (MIP). Consequently, there is a dearth of research on how deviation occurs in African literatures. Therefore, through the lenses of Shklovsky’s defamiliarization theory, this study examines WIP, with a view to describing the techniques used by MIP in achieving deviation, for the purpose of defamiliarizing language in their works. Data consists of seventeen poems randomly selected from eight Igbo poetic texts, written between 1975, when WIP debuted, to 2015, a period that marks the fourth decade of its existence. The poems studied were subjected to a qualitative analysis that focuses on the use of language to achieve deviation. Findings showed that four types of deviation feature in WIP scene: Syntactic, lexical, phonological, and graphological. Syntactic deviation is achieved through the use of end-weight, focusing, and topicalization. Lexical deviation is the achieved through the use of coinages, lexical borrowing and dialectal deviation. Only apocope phonological deviation feature in WIP, while graphological deviation was applied to ease pronunciation with a view to achieve rhythmic effect. |
