Abstract

Summary
Strangeness in a word means that it is not clear and unfamiliar in use, which most rhetoric scholars have considered to be a defect in eloquence. The oldest book that had mentioned the oddity in Islamic rhetoric and proposed the non-use of it as a condition of eloquence is Khatib Qazvini's "Al Izah" and since then, through the history of the teaching of rhetoric, the principle has been followed up to now. But contemporary rhetoricians consider this model of eloquence, and many other principles of traditional rhetoric, to be ineffective in the face of contemporary literary criticism and the analysis as well as aesthetics of literary texts. They have presented their theories in this regard in several articles and insisted to revise them. This article, considering the criticism of traditional rhetoric and the necessity of its revision, has studied one of the defects of eloquence in an analytical-critical way, With the presupposition that traditional eloquence with its negative patterns, willy-nilly neglected poetic language, it has shown its efficiency more in the field of grammar than rhetoric. Poetry or prose in its simultaneity axis, the nature of language and from the point of view of stylistics, it is a kind of defamiliarization and avoidance of norms that has caused the stylistic differentiation of the writer or poet, it can play an important role in shaping the literariness of speech.
